Notice of Acceptance of Complete Specifications.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 7th September, 1910.

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.

The copies of claims and extracts from the specifications and drawings are merely intended to give some further indication of the invention than is disclosed in the title, and the complete specifications and drawings should be referred to for a description of the invention.

No. 26267.—22nd July, 1909.—WILLIAM READ, of Ohau, Wellington, New Zealand, Farmer. An improved carrier for the conveyance of eggs.*

Extract from Specification.—Comprises sections composed of rectangular cases or boxes adapted to be fitted one upon the other in such a manner that independent side movement of the said sections is prevented. The whole of the sections are united securely together by means of bolts passing vertically up through an extended portion fixed on the ends of the bottom section and thence through a corresponding overhanging portion fixed to the lid of the carrier. Thumb nuts are fitted to the upper ends of the bolts, said bolts also serving to prevent end movement of the said sections when they are held together by the bolts and nuts. Loops for holding eggs are formed by means of continuous wires attached to parallel bars provided at the bottom of each section, said bars either extending longitudinally or transversely to the length of the said section.

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

(Specification, 4s. 3d.)

No. 26470.—25th August, 1909.—ALEXANDER PULLAR, of Owaka, New Zealand, Farmer. An improved brush for use in cleaning artificial teeth.*

Claims.—(1.) A brush for use in cleaning artificial teeth, characterized by having its stock bent into a curve extending longitudinally with the handle, and the fibre arranged to extend radially all round the stock and at right angles to the plane of the handle, substantially as specified. (2.) The improved brush for use in cleaning artificial teeth constructed and formed substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

(Specification, 1s. 9d.)

No. 26478.—16th January, 1909.—THOMAS JAMES McBRIDE, of 136 Papanui Road, Christchurch, New Zealand, Gentleman. An improved puncture-proof pneumatic tire and retaining rim-casement for vehicle-wheels.

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention expansion-spaces 1, 1 of an approximately crescent-shape are provided between the inner parts 2, 2 of the rim-casement and the flanges 3, 3 of the tire 14, and such spaces are practically at the back or behind the tire as shown in Fig. 1, so that when an obstruction is met with the air in the tube 13 is not compressed, but the latter will be pressed upwards, and the flanges losing their tension momentarily will be pressed into the expansion-spaces, which has the effect of making the tire more resilient.

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

(Specification, 11s. 6d.)

No. 26479.—26th August, 1909.—THOMAS JAMES McBRIDE, of 136 Papanui Road, Christchurch, New Zealand, Gentleman. An improved puncture-proof pneumatic tire and retaining rim-casement for vehicle-wheels.

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention the solid tread portion 1 of the tire bears against the pneumatic tube 8, and is fitted into the rim-casement 2, 2 so that its inner periphery 30 adjoining the tube 8 projects inwardly approximately as far as the inner part of the wearing-surface of the rim-casement mouth 7. The outer periphery of the pneumatic tube 8 is thus also kept at the same radial distance, and the expansion-spaces between the flanges 11 of the tire and the casement-sides 2, 2 are located so that their outermost ends do not project beyond the periphery of said tube. The wearing-portions of the tire are provided at intervals with bevelled or inclined anti-friction or wearing plates 4, 4, preferably arranged in pairs, one on each side of the tire, and are partly imbedded in the latter. They are preferably secured by tie-bolts 5 extending transversely through said tire, each one having its head 6 countersunk in one of the plates. Said plates are adapted to wedge into the bevelled mouth 7, 7 of the rim-casement when the pneumatic tube 8 is inflated, but when the tire is depressed the bevelled plates and mouth of the casement separate immediately with the least possible friction.

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