COMPLETE specifications relating to the undermentioned applications for Letters Patent have been accepted, and are open to public inspection at this office. Any person may, at any time within two months from the date of this Gazette, give me notice in writing of opposition to the grant of any such patent. Such notice must set forth the particular grounds of objection, and be in duplicate. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon.

No. 24588.—30th June, 1908.—GEORGE HUTCHINSON, of 132A Worcester Street, Christchurch, New Zealand, Inventor. Improvements in weighing-apparatus.*

Extract from Specification.—According to my invention, the pointer is made to indicate weights upon an arc divided into equal parts, whereas in the scales at present in use the divisions are unequal.

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

(Specification, 12s. 6d. ; drawing, 4s.)

No. 24816.—20th August, 1908.—RICHARD BELLENGER, The Oaks, New South Wales, Australia. Improvement for prevention of damage to milk-cans, buckets, tubs, and like articles.*

Extract from Specification.—This hoop for milk-cans, tubs, buckets, and like vessels comprises in combination two angle hoops of iron or other material, one of which is inverted, the two flat sides being brought together and attached by rivets, solder, or in other manner.

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

(Specification, 1s. 3d. ; drawing, 1s.)

No. 24835.—25th August, 1908.—WILLIAM McEACHERN, of Rosewood, New South Wales, Australia, Civil Engineer. Improvements in lifting-jacks and the like.*

Extract from Specification.—To use my combined rack and jack its rear is detached and allowed to drop to the ground into oblique position. The vehicle is then pulled back, so that the carrier becomes vertical and raises the wheels. To release the jack from the latter position I move the vehicle forward, and the carrier becomes oblique, ready to be fixed in raised position under the vehicle. The above operations may be performed without removing luggage suitably secured in the carrier. Various oiling-requisites, as a grease-pot or oil-can, and tools and conveniences, as wrenches, washers, harness-dressing, and so forth, may be carried.

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

(Specification, 5s. 6d. ; drawing, 1s.)

No. 24868.—1st September, 1908.—MARC RUTTY, of 58 Margaret Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Merchant (nominee of Maurice Jeantet, of St. Claude, Jura, France, Manufacturer). Improvements in smoking-pipes.*

Claim.—A tobacco-pipe of which the bowl thereof is lined inside with a gauze of a metal, such as copper, nickel, palladium, or a mixture of these metals, substantially as described.

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

No. 24921.—14th September, 1908.—ROBERT BENJAMIN WILLIAMS, of Winton, Southland, New Zealand, Commission Agent. An improved mop-wringer.*

Claims.—(1.) In mop-wringers of the class described, a perforated tapered receptacle for the mop formed in two halves, a pair of frames to which the halves of the receptacle are respectively attached, an outer frame enclosing the pair of frames, and springs secured between such outer frame and the respective inner frames and serving to press such inner frames together, substantially as specified. (2.) The improved mop-wringer substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

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

No. 24981.—24th September, 1908.—CHARLES GRANT, of Hamilton, New Zealand, Blacksmith. A combined tyne and chain harrow.*

Claim.—My special claim is the couplings: they connect each row of links; and between each row of links the said couplings form tynes, each coupling forming two flexible tynes. These couplings are bent to form two eyes for receiving links of chain, and their ends are formed into tynes. The tynes stand at right angles to body of material forming eyes, also one tyne is set off to the right and one to left, so by this the tynes cut into the ground at an angle of 45° right and left, giving an even pressure so that one tyne does not run clear of the ground and leave the other to do the work. These tynes are all on one side of the harrow, leaving the other side an ordinary chain harrow, so there are two harrows in one.

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

No. 24996.—1st October, 1908.—ROBERT JOSEPH WATERS, of Blenheim, New Zealand, Tinsmith. Improved means for fastening fencing-wires to the standards.*

Claims.—(1.) A fastener for attaching fencing-wires to standards formed by a length of wire passing through the standard, with its ends bent in opposite directions upon the opposite sides of such standards, and formed on one end with a hook adapted to encircle the wire and hold it against the edge of the standard, and on the other end with a handle, substantially as specified. (2.) The improved means for fastening fencing-wires to the standards, constructed and operated substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

(Specification, 2s. 3d. ; drawing, 1s.)

No. 25009.—2nd October, 1908.—THOMAS GAGEE, of Hikurangi, New Zealand, Tailor. An improved construction of vessel for storing and drawing off kerosene and other liquids from the cans containing them.*

Claims.—(1.) Means for storing and drawing off kerosene and other liquids from the cans containing them, consisting of a vessel adapted to receive the can and provided with a draw-off cock, a wooden false bottom fitting within such vessel, supports upon such false bottom for holding the can above its surface, and a triangular cutter with chisel edges secured upon the false bottom with its apex projecting upwards above the level of the can-supports, substantially as specified. (2.) The improved means for storing and drawing off kerosene and other liquids from the cans containing them, constructed and operating substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

(Specification, 3s. 3d. ; drawing, 1s.)

No. 25014.—5th October, 1908.—SAMUEL WRIGHT, of Fair View, Timaru, New Zealand, Farmer. Valveless acetylene-gas generator.*

Extract from Specification.—The generator is water-sealed, and therefore gastight, and as the gas in the holder is drawn off and the holder descends the slotted rod presses down the handle of the water-supply tap H, thus allowing the water from the gas-holder to flow into the generator, and as it reaches the carbide it gives off acetylene gas; this passes into the gas-holder, and, as the holder uses it, closes the water-supply and also lifts the carbide out of the water, thus stopping the supply of gas.

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

(Specification, 5s. 6d. ; drawing, 1s.)

No. 25021.—6th October, 1908.—WALTER CARDIFF MEAD, of High Street, Maldon, Victoria, Australia, Mechanic. Improved adjustable handle-bar for cycles.*

Extract from Specification.—The handle-bar according to this invention is preferably constructed of a straight tube made in one length and supported above the ordinary handle-bar pillar-head by radial tubular posts which are secured on the ends of a short tube carried in the T head of the handle-bar pillar and capable of being oscillated therein. Said handle-bar is locked at the desired height or position by means of a screwed friction clutch of novel construction having one end furnished with a handle or hand-wheel, also the handle-bar is furnished at both ends with a novel construction of grip-sleeve. Further means are provided for applying a brake to the front or back wheels from the handle-bar.

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