No. 25022.—6th October, 1908.—CARL HEINRICH RUDOLF PAUL, of “Waratah,” Harcourt Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Tailor. Pressing and ironing machine, and moulds used in connection therewith.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists in a rectangular iron frame, provided with a wooden table-top; bolted to the frame at both ends are iron guide-standards, and at one end is an iron axle-bracket bolted to the guide-standard which supports an axle, mounted upon which are two fly-wheels and friction-clutch. Two horizontal steel guide-bars are shouldered and screwed into the guide-standards, upon which is a sliding-crosshead actuated by a connecting-rod from the fly-wheels. Integral with the crosshead are top and bottom sockets, in which slides up and down a vertical spindle, to the lower end of which is connected a firebox, and to the upper end a T socket-piece, which slides backwards and forwards on a horizontal guide-bar supported at either end by sockets which slide up and down vertical guide-bars, bolted to guide-standards; these sockets are attached to, kept in-position, and actuated by vertical rods having an up-and-down motion; these rods are screwed at their lower ends for adjustment, and after passing through guide-holes in the table are attached to eyes having elongated slots permitting a true vertical motion; the eyes are attached to treadle-levers by shouldered bolts fitted with brass or gun-metal rollers. On to the eyes are attached chains running over pulleys revolving upon pins in frame; to the other ends of the chains are balance-weights, which are prevented from swinging by a tie-rod bolted thereto. The treadle-levers vibrate on shouldered bolts fixed to frame, and are provided with treadle foot-bar. The friction-clutch is operated by a lever pivotally connected to a bracket bolted to bracket carrying the fly-wheels; to the top end of said lever is an oscillating balance-weight. Fixed to the back of the frame is a water-trough, in which revolves a roller wound upon which is a damping-cloth running between two rollers. On to the firebox at end of vertical spindle is a cast-iron swing, fitted gas-tight, and having a slight oscillating transverse motion; to the swing are attached sole-plates of various patterns as the nature of the work demands; the firebox is provided with gas-supply pipe, and exhaust-pipe, and necessary taps. Wooden mould-boards of various patterns are used with the machine, the undersides of which are trenched with grooves running longitudinally, and are kept from warping by gun-metal girders screwed to the bottom, and so constructed as to carry hard-steel balls, upon which they travel; these mould-boards are fitted with spring clips for holding the garments.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

A hinged or swinging hook as c, formed with an open-ended slot as d, and a nest as e in which the fence-wires as b are held against the post as a, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (2.) A barbed or partly barbed nail as f, on which is held or hinged the swinging-hook as c, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings. (3.) The hinged or swinging hook as c, having a slot as d and a nest as e in operative combination with a barbed or partly barbed nail f as the holding pivotally agent to the post, substantially as set forth, and as illustrated in the drawings.

No. 25033.—7th October, 1908.—ALFRED JARRETT, of 13 Broadway, Glebe, near Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Lamp-maker and Sheet-metal Worker. An improved kerosene-pump.

Claims.—(1.) A kerosene-pump provided with a vertical delivery-spout having a transverse partition, a float designed to actuate an indicator by its vertical movement within the lower end of said spout, outlets from said spout located one above and one below the said partition, the pump-barrel being furnished with a device comprising a tube having an inclined cutting-edge with a piercing-point at its lower end to facilitate the attachment of the pump to a kerosene-tin, substantially as described and illustrated. (2.) A kerosene-pump, the barrel of which is furnished with a device to facilitate its attachment to a kerosene-tin, and comprising a tube having an inclined cutting-edge with a piercing-point at its lower end, a supply-pipe leading from the barrel to a vertical delivery-spout, said spout being constructed with a transverse partition and outlets located one above and one below said partition, a float positioned within said spout below said partition, and adapted by its vertical movement to actuate a wire indicator passing upwardly through guides, substantially as described and illustrated.
[NOTE.—Here follow three other claims.]

(2.) In friction-windlasses, a continuously revolving power-shaft, a drum loosely mounted upon the power-shaft, a countershaft geared with the drum, a friction-pinion fixed upon the power-shaft, a friction-wheel fixed upon the countershaft, a rotatable bearing-block carrying one end of the countershaft eccentrically therein, and an arm for rotating such block, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
