No. 26678.—5th October, 1909.—WILLIAM NORMAN GLYN PARRY, of Puka Puka, Puhoi, Auckland, New Zealand, Contractor. Improved rock-boring apparatus.*

Extract from Specification.—The apparatus designed consists of a metal cylinder having a number of steel cutters secured at irregular intervals around its bottom edge, which is adapted to be alternately raised and dropped by means of suitable means. Means are also provided whereby it may be rotated between each drop so that the cutters will work evenly round the core. The invention also comprises the combination of this cylinder with a contractible and expansible metal ring having a bevelled outer edge that is adapted to be passed down between the core and inside of the cylinder, and then to be jammed on to the bottom of the core so as to allow of it being raised with the cylinder. It also provides ready means whereby the length of the cylinder-lifting chain may be varied to regulate the height of the cylinder’s working.

[NOTE.—This is an application under the International and Inter-colonial Arrangements, the date given being the official date of the application in England.]

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention, in detachable rims having separable sections the tire is secured to the rim and the rim to the wheel or hub-member by a bolt passing through the felloe and engaging a security-pad inside the tire; or the bolt may be integral with the security-pad and adapted to receive a nut to secure it in place. In order to separate the sections a toggle-plate is pivotally connected to the short arm of a lever, the toggle-plate and the lever being pivoted to adjacent ends of two sections so that movement of the lever separates the sections. One end of the toggle-plate and the fulcrum of the lever are provided with pins which pass through holes formed in the adjacent ends of the two sections, and a similar device is applied to the other side of the rim and engages with the same pins.
