Claims.—(1.) A garment attachment or shield for corsets composed of a sheet of thin springy material of truncated, conical, or rectangular form, curved before use to fit against the wearer’s body and extend some distance above and a greater distance below the waist, and having elongated transverse or equivalent slots, and skived or tapered edges, substantially as described. (2.) An attachment of the class indicated having a single curved piece of springy leather or suitable material slotted to allow of adjustment of form during wear and variation of form during bending, substantially as described. (3.) A corset-attachment or garment-shield having one sheet of springy thin material shaped and slotted, substantially as described with reference to Fig. 3 of the drawings. (4.) An attachment of the class indicated composed of a single curved resilient piece of perforated leather with skived edges and of rectangular form, substantially as described.

No. 22810.—11th May, 1907.—MONO SERVICE VESSELS, LIMITED, of 58 Coleman Street, London, England, Manufacturers (assignees of Elmer Zebley Taylor, of 46 Peartree Street, Goswell Road, London, England, Engineer). An improved paper vessel applicable for use in the delivery of milk to customers and for other like purposes.

Claims.—(1.) The improved method of securing a bottom of paper or similar material in vessels of the class specified, consisting in turning down the edge of such bottom and fitting a ring of U section over such turned-down edge and the lower edge of the paper tube constituting the sides of the vessel, and subsequently pressing the upper edges of such ring towards each other until they are substantially flush with the material of which the sides and bottom are composed, substantially as described. (2.) The improved method for preventing vessels of the class specified from fitting too tightly together when nested, consisting in doubling the upper edge thereof inwards and pressing out the upper portion until an enlargement or projection is formed around the outside of the upper edge of the vessel, substantially as described. (3.) The formation of weakening-indentations in the upper edge of the vessel so that by pressing on the angular portion so formed the material will be broken and bent sideways to form a lip or spout to facilitate the pouring-out of the contents of the vessel, substantially as described. (4.) The combination in a paper vessel of a paper tube, a bottom of paper or similar material secured therein by turning down its edges and placing a metallic ring of U section over the turned-down edges of the bottom and the lower edges of the paper tube and pressing the ring into the material of which these parts are composed, a projection or enlargement formed around the upper end of the paper tube by doubling in such upper end and forming by pressure the upper portion, and a lid comprising a flat disc adapted to enter a groove formed around the inner surface of the doubled-in portion, these parts being coated on one or both sides with paraffin-wax or similar material, all substantially as described.

No. 22811.—1st August, 1906.—WILLIAM HENRY HANNAM, of Castlereagh Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Sanitary Engineer. Improvements in gas-fired bath-water heaters.

[NOTE.—This is an application under section 106 of the Act, the date given being the official date of the application in the Commonwealth of Australia.]

Claims.—(1.) A water-sprayer for a bath-water heater consisting of an inverted-bell nozzle with centrally pierced diaphragm, a conical stopper working through a tapped guide in said bell, a stem on such stopper prolonged vertically and terminating in a hand-piece for regulating purposes, and a ball on said stem to break into a spray the jet of water which impinges thereon, substantially as described. (2.) A water-sprayer for a bath-water heater consisting of a head-piece on the water-supply pipe, a centrally pierced diaphragm forming the top of such head, a conical stopper for the central aperture adjustable relatively thereto by screwing into a tapped guide, and a spraying-ball above said aperture, substantially as described. (3.) In a spraying-valve for a bath-water heater consisting of a conical plug movable relatively to a circular aperture to vary the open area of the same, a slot cut in the side of said conical plug to permit a predetermined volume of water to pass when said plug is screwed hard into said aperture, substantially as described. (4.) The detail construction of a combination of parts in a spraying-nozzle for a bath-water heater, substantially as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. (5.) An interlocking water and gas valve for a bath-water heater consisting of a pair of dead-lift disc valves whereof the water-valve is mounted upon a screwed work-shaft rotatable by a hand-piece and operating to bring said valve to and from its seat whilst the lower end of said work-shaft acts upon the spring-closed gas-valve to open it after the water-valve has been opened, and to allow said gas-valve to be closed before said water-valve has been brought to its seat, substantially as described. (6.) In a water and gas valve for a bath-water heater, the combination of water-valve F, spring-closed gas-valve G, screwed rotatable work-shaft H working in nut J, directly operating the water-valve F and acting upon the gas-valve G so as to open same after the water-valve and allow it to close before the water-valve, substantially as described. (7.) Interlocked water and gas valves for a bath-water heater consisting of discs working against valve-seatings and carried by non-rotatable stems whose outer ends are threaded reversely and whose movement is controlled by a single lever whose hub is tapped to work on the stem-threads, a closing spring on the gas-valve, and a lost-motion pin and slot connecting the stem to the head of said valve, for the purposes set forth. (8.) In an interlocking water and gas valve for a bath-water heater consisting of water-valve F, spring-closed gas-valve G, reversely threaded non-rotatable spindles R and S for same valves respectively, nut W for operating said spindles, and lost-motion pin and slot Vv whereby the water-valve is made to open before the gas-valve and to come to its seating after the gas-valve has closed, substantially as described.
