to more clearly set forth the nature of the invention and the
method of carrying it into effect, and to correct certain
clerical errors.”

No. 25438.—12th January, 1909.—T. Firth. Horse-controller and wheel-lock. (Advertised in Supplement to New Zealand Gazette, No. 21, of the 11th March, 1909.)

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—
(1.) To insert the following after the end of the descriptive part of the specification, page 5: “In the simpler form of my invention, shown on sheet 2, like figures refer to like parts. Fig. A, side view, see C, C, C, C, 1, a bracket in cast iron, malleable cast, or cast steel. It is provided with a socket to receive standard 2, which passes through it, and is secured by a bolt passing through socket and standard (see B figure at 1). The bracket has two shapes, the socket in one case being at right angles to what it is in the other (see Fig. A at 1), and Figs. 6, 2, a stout bar of iron to which all the mechanism is now attached; 3, 3, a cross-plate riveted to the standard; 4, a bracket riveted to standard, and to receive the spindle that supports the two wheels; 5, 5, the wheels are pinned to the spindle, the spindle works freely in the bracket; 6, 6, two brackets riveted to the standard, and through which sliding-rod 7 works freely; 8, 8, a spiral spring working on rod 7 and between brackets 6, 6; 9, 9¹ (see Fig. B), two brackets supplied with lugs separately or cast on one plate to receive handle 10, with spiral springs 11 working between the lugs; 13, a pulley fixed to top of handle 7; B, a pulley attached to one end of a rope that works on wheel 5¹; 14, 14, 14, 14, pulleys fixed to cross-plates; 15, a pulley fixed to bottom of rod 7; 16, plan of cross-bar 3 fixed on the top of the standard 2. For convenience I will call my first drawings, Drawings 1; my amended drawings, Drawings 2. Part 1, a new bracket, substituting standard 2, turned at right angles; part 2 now passes through the bracket, as shown in Fig. A; 3, windlass-bracket represented by 4, a small bracket; 4, windlass represented by wheels 5, 5; 6, the bracket to receive sliding-rod at the top of the standard is now simple; 7, a compound bracket, now modified, as shown in amended drawings 2; 9 is provided with a recess as shown in drawing 2 at 16; Fig. D, 19, is supplanted by fixed pulley 14 shown on Fig. A. Description of working: The contrivance is attached to the vehicle in the front in a line with the horse in the manner shown in the drawings. The figure A, drawing 2, represents it in action. When the sliding-rod 7 is drawn up the ropes at the top and bottom of the standard 2 are nearly in a straight line at right angles with the standard 2. The spring-handle, Fig. B, as shown at 10, clips the flattened handle 7 under the right-angled part at the top of 7, and holds it up, restraining the spring 8 so that the force of the spring 8 is available when liberated to aid and quicken the operating of the contrivance. The springs on handle 10 aid in the working of the handle.”

“Description of working the contrivance: The contrivance is fixed to the vehicle in front centre in a line with the horse; the horse is geared to the vehicle so that it has a working travel of 6 in. between tight and slack; the attachments to the reins and the traces are fixed so that when the horse has a tight trace the attachments are tight. When the operator wants to bring the contrivance into use, he pulls out the handle 10, Fig. B, which holds up the rod 7 by passing under the right angle on top of rod 7. In thus pulling out handle 10 he liberates rod 7, and the spring 8 on rod 7 forces the rod 7 down; the handle 10 goes back on the top of rod 7, keeping it down. This act takes up the slack 6 in. in the working travel of the horse, and takes the force of the horse on to the contrivance. This force acts through the trace-rope, which rope acts on pulleys 14, 14, and 15, and then on wheel 5, which turns spindle and wheel 5, pulling down pulley 13, and with it the rope attached to the reins, thus in this way causing the horse to use its force through the contrivance on its own head. Should the horse kick when the contrivance is brought into use, there is a tight rein as between contrivance and the horse’s head, so that the kicking force is conveyed to its own head, which will correct the habit. Should the horse bolt the instant action of the contrivance will cause the horse to use the force against itself.

(2.) To add the following claims:—
“Amended claims: (1.) In a horse-controller, as shown in drawings and explained in this specification, substantially in combination for the purposes of my horse controller, all the parts referred to in the following figures. (2.) I claim the parts represented by the following figures: 1, bracket in its two shapes; 2, standard; 3, 3¹, 4, 5, 5¹, 7, and 8, in combination; 9, 10, and 11, in combination: all substantially as illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification.”

(3.) To add another sheet to the drawings.

The applicant states, “My reasons for making these amendments are to more fully describe my invention and the manner in which it is to be performed, and to describe a simpler and less costly means I have devised of carrying it into effect.”
