but said mechanism is normally inoperative, as its operating mechanism is normally disengaged therefrom. Means, under control of the operator, are provided for engaging said mechanisms, which means act on one of the moving parts to momentarily arrest its movement, the engaging means between the parts thereafter acting to render the inserting mechanism operative. Operatively associated with the mechanism for operating the inserting mechanism are means for insuring its engagement, notwithstanding the immediate release of the controlling means. This insures the complete insertion of a fastener before the stock can be withdrawn from the machine. Novel means are shown for supporting the reels containing the wire-coils, when continuous lengths of fastener material are used, so that the number of strands used may be increased or diminished at will without interfering with the remainder. As here shown the machine is preferably constructed so that the means for presenting the fasteners to the inserting mechanism are continuously actuated, together with the stock-feeding mechanism, while the driving-shaft continues in operation, and means are provided, under control of the operator, for bringing the means for rendering the inserting mechanism operative, and the stock-supporting means into and out of operative position at the proper moments during the cycles of operation according to the particular design used.

(Specification, £2 3s. ; drawing, 5s.)

No. 22068.—13th November, 1906.—ALFRED WILLIAM CHATFIELD, of Auckland, New Zealand, Surgeon Dentist. An improved means of replanting, implanting, and transplanting teeth.*

Claims.—(1.) In the improved means of replanting, implanting, and transplanting teeth specified, the providing a drug composed of one part being a 95-per-cent. carbolic-acid solution and five parts of glycerine mixed for the purpose set forth, as described.

(3.) In combination, the placing the extracted tooth for a time in the drug specified, the washing the socket in the mouth in which the tooth is to be planted, and packing said socket with a pledget of cotton saturated with the drug, then wrapping the extracted tooth in linen material sterilised in the drug, and cleaning and packing the canal of the tooth in the manner specified, then withdrawing said pledget from said socket, irrigating said socket in the manner set forth, and then placing said tooth in said socket, as described.

No. 22582.—22nd March, 1907.—GEORGE WADE WILKINS, of Penshurst, Victoria, Australia, Gentleman. An improved solution for use with cotton goods, woollens, silk, paper, wood, hemp, and other analogous substances for rendering the same capable of resisting fire.

Claim.—As a means for resisting fire, a solution consisting of the combination of saturated solutions of sulphate of ammonium and phosphate of ammonium in about the proportions as specified, and prepared and applied in the manner explained.

No. 22937.—4th June, 1907.—DANIEL MULCAHY, of William Street, Fremantle, Western Australia, Gentleman (assignee of Louis Pearce, of Fremantle aforesaid, Architect). Improvements in sash-fasteners.

Extract from Specification.—The improvements mainly consist, first, in the employment of a drop-pawl which is so arranged that it will fall by gravity into engagement and to be disengaged by human action, and so that in its use and operation it is adapted to be partially automatic. The improvements also comprise as a modification the employment of an auxiliary or secondary pivoted pawl which is so arranged that when thrown forward it will lock or hold the parent pawl in position, with the result that the latter cannot be operated without first releasing the auxiliary pawl.

No. 23047.—26th June, 1907.—WILLIAM CARVER, of Olive Street, Prospect, South Australia, Accountant. Improvements in brooms.

Claim.—In brooms, brushes, and the like, a tapering metal socket of several inches in length, secured to the broom-head by being slipped into a corresponding tapering hole right through the broom-head and held in position by serrated points being pressed outwards against the face of the broom-head, substantially as described and shown—viz., flanged or burrred over.

No. 23106.—10th July, 1907.—ARTHUR JAMES BAKER, of 74 Pirie Street, Adelaide, South Australia, Manufacturer. An improved crutch.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists in a crutch having an improved pneumatic crutch-top of special construction, and also having a specially designed shoe, and also having a movable handle capable of being raised or lowered as may be required. The manner in which I construct the crutch is shown in the drawings.

No. 23195.—25th July, 1907.—MARRIANNE EWING MCLEOD, of 243 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Dressmaker. Improvements in charts to be used in the cutting of patterns for ladies’ and childrens’ garments.

Extract from Specification.—The method or system used in this chart possesses great advantages over the systems ordinarily used. The neck and shoulder measurements being arranged in slots B, C. The sizes and half-sizes are marked at ¼ in. and ⅛ in. distances respectively—i.e., one-quarter from inch to inch, and from ¼ in. to ½ in. ⅛. By this arrangement perfect accuracy is obtained in drafting the neck sizes which are indicated on charts Nos. 1 and 4. By this means the slope of shoulder may be raised or lowered to suit the figure. Each depth of waist dart is determined by its corresponding front length, the various depths of which are arranged along either side of the sliding slot G and H. For example, if front length be 15 in. a dot is made at 15 on side G of slot ; the chart is then moved up till arrow gg rests on dot made; the top points of darts are then marked in dot I and dots J, after which chart is again moved up till 15 on line H rests on dot 15. The sizes and position in line of perforations J are marked to correspond to bust sizes indicated on line F. The size for dart is then marked along waist and basque lines at K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, and at line S for lower point of front length. When lines are drawn from said dots it will be found that, although no front lengths are given on front line of chart at waist, that from front of neck-line to waist-line measures exactly 15 in. The depth of dart in each case is proportionate to said front length. Another advantage over the charts now in use is in the placing of waist-line dart sizes, dots L, M, P, and Q being fixed starting-points from which the sizes work out each way. The markings along line S, it will be noticed, are figured to correspond to markings of slots K and O. These markings indicate the various points of centre front-length lines, so that instead of there being one fixed centre front line for every figure each dart has its own front line from centre of bust down. Thus, if figure is large and full, front line comes well out; if figure is small, small darts are required, front line comes in in proportion to figure, so that in every case the front line is adjusted to the figure. It will be observed that bust-depths are arranged and placed along edge of bust portion of front line at aa, corresponding to sizes and distances marked in slots H and G. These bust-depths are each arranged to correspond to the various dart and front length sizes. The correct all-round size of bust test measurement is indicated on lines Y and yy. The great difficulty in previous chart systems has been that the sizes of across back are not always proportionate to all-round bust measure. For instance, two figures may be 36 all-round bust measure, while the across back in one case may be 10 in.; in the other 12 in., no provision being made on front portion of chart for these disproportions. The all-round bust measure in one case would come out 2 in. larger than the other. This difficulty has been entirely done away with by the system of bust test measure hereinafter described, and as indicated on lines Y and yy. The various sizes of across back and under-arm bust measure, having been worked out, are graded at correct distances apart along line yy. The various front por-
