In apparatus such as described, and in which a pen is used, the employment of crank shafts below the pen, and means for raising the cranks to a vertical position, substantially as set forth. (2.) In apparatus such as described, and in which a pen is used, the employment of crank shafts below the pen, means for raising the cranks to a vertical position whereby the pen is supported by the cranks, and hooks attached to the frame of the apparatus and adapted to engage eyebolts secured to the pen, substantially as set forth. (3.) In apparatus such as described, and in which a pen is used, the employment of crank shafts below the pen, brackets by which the shafts are pivoted to the frame of the apparatus, a lever secured upon the end of one shaft, an arm secured upon the end of the other shaft, and a connecting-rod coupling together the lever and arm, substantially as set forth. (4.) The combination and arrangement of parts comprising the improvements in scales for weighing sheep and the like, substantially as and for the purposes specified, and as illustrated in the drawings.

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

No. 22186.—12th December, 1906.—EDWARD BOND BAKER, of Spring Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Grazier. Improvements in means for treating substances under pressure.

Claims.—(1.) The combination as a whole of substantially the parts described which are shown in Figs. 1 to 3. (2.) In a machine for treating substances under pressure, a chamber mounted on a hydraulic ram, adapted to be raised and lowered relatively to a cover, in combination with tubing for exhausting the air from the chamber, tubing for heating or cooling the chamber-contents, comprising a coil extending around within its walls, means for so supporting hides, meat, or other substances within the chamber as to allow circulation of liquid therein, a perforated ring, coil, or the like at the chamber-top, and another at the chamber-bottom, whereby liquid under pressure may be forced to enter, diffuse into, and leave the chamber through numerous small perforations, in each case located substantially as described. (3.) The combination of parts described with reference to claim 2, omitting a hydraulic ram or the like, and using a removable cover as described.

(Specification, 4s. 9d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 22196.—13th December, 1906.—MICHAEL FRY, of Port Awanui, New Zealand, Bricklayer. Improvements in sheep-races.

Claims.—(1.) In sheep-races of the class described, the construction of the endless travelling-platform with an inclined portion and a horizontal portion continuous with the upper end of the inclined portion, substantially as and for the purposes specified. (2.) In sheep-races of the class described, the combination with a travelling-platform, such as that referred to in claim 1, of side-frame members having correspondingly inclined and horizontal portions hinged together, and strips extending longitudinally along their inner faces and projecting inwards beneath the respective edges of the platform, as and for the purposes specified. (3.) In sheep-races of the class described, the combination with a travelling-platform and side frames, such as those referred to in the preceding claims, of strips extending longitudinally along above the outer edges of the platform, as and for the purposes specified.

(Specification, 4s; drawing, 1s.)

No. 22204.—11th December, 1906.—JOSEPH EDDEY, care of Messrs. A. J. Park and Son, of 24 Manse Street, Dunedin, New Zealand, Grocer. A wire cheese-cutter.

Claims.—(1.) In a wire cheese-cutter, a single wire carried in a bow and strained by a tension screw, the whole hinged at one end to the base-board of the device, and at the other moving in a vertical slotted quadrant also secured to the said base-board, all for the purposes set forth, and substantially as described, and illustrated in the drawings. (2.) In a wire cheese-cutter, a single wire carried in a bow and strained by a tension screw, the whole hinged at one end to the base-board, and at the other moving in a slotted quadrant also secured to the said base-board, in combination with a supporting platform provided with a longitudinal slot constructed to receive the cutting-wire, all for the purposes set forth, and substantially as described, and illustrated in the drawings. (3.) A wire cheese-cutter consisting of a metal wire carried in a bow and provided with a tension screw, one end of said bow being hinged to the base-board of the device while the other moves in a slotted quadrant, a platform for carrying the cheese provided with a longitudinal slot of a size and form to receive the cutting-wire, and with the required weight-zones and pin-holes thereon, an adjustable pivoted gauge-bar and set-pin, and an adjustable stop, all for the purposes set forth, and substantially as described, and illustrated in the drawings.

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

No. 22212.—14th December, 1906.—THOMAS REID CHRISTIE, of Dunedin, New Zealand, Plumber. Improvements in or relating to galvanised-iron skylights and the like.

Claims.—(1.) In a skylight, securing the threaded studs 2 substantially as described. (2.) A corner supporting-bracket 7, substantially as described. (3.) The combination with a galvanised-iron skylight combing of a supporting-bracket 7 for the corners thereof, substantially as described.

(Specification, 2s.; drawing, 2s.)

No. 22226.—20th December, 1906.—HENRY ERNEST PARRY, of Guildford, Western Australia, Civil Engineer. Compound counting-machine.

Claims.—(1.) Means whereby counters are separately and simultaneously rotated a unit distance, consisting of a push-plate as a for setting up a circuit, and by means of coils d, rocker d1, and bar d2 releases balls as e, so allowing their fall on to a contact-maker as f, so forming a circuit to operate coils g or h, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (2.) A hopper as e3, formed with an endless horseshoe-shaped race as e5, passages e1, chamber e2, and throat e4 for containing ball contact agents as e, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (3.) A circuit-former push-plate as a, made with two levels, on one of which, as a, sits a column of tickets as a1, said column falling on to the lower level, as b, by the forward push of the plate, so allowing a single ticket to be carried by shoulder b1 for issue and delivery to the operator while the column is replaced on its own level as a, and said plate being returned by the homing-spring b5, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (4.) A locking-bar as c, whose fall is electrically controlled by human agency, so rendering push-plates, as a, inoperative, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (5.) A bar, as g3, connected to rocker g1, and operated by coils g, whereby any ball, as e, after effecting its circuit-forming duty, is pushed into its race, as e5, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (6.) Means whereby any succeeding ball is prevented from entering the throat e4 until the preceding ball is pushed into the race, consisting of a tumbler as e6, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (7.) The peculiar construction and combination of parts constituting an electrically operated machine for the separate and simultaneous counting of single and grand totals, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings.

No. 22243.—22nd December, 1906.—RICE OWEN CLARK, of Hobsonville, Auckland, New Zealand, Pipe-manufacturer. Improvements relating to yard-sinks and the like.

Extract from Specification.—In sinks, a circular groove or channel or projecting ring is formed on the outside bottom of the sink around the opening through which the water passes away, in order to prevent the water when running away from creeping along the bottom of sink and percolating through the joints, and thus becoming a nuisance and a danger.

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