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. 27461.—23rd March, 1910.—GEORGE MASSEY, of Post Office Chambers, Pitt Street, Sydney, Australia, Consulting Engineer. An improved sheep-shearing machine.*

Extract from Specification.—This invention consists of introducing an intermediate or balancing lever between the cutter-bar or lever and the driving-crank in such a manner that the effects of the momentum of the cutter and the forward end of its bar or lever, together with that of the rear or crank end of the intermediate lever, all of which move together in the one direction, shall be neutralized by the momentum of the combined forward end of the intermediate bar, together with that of the rear end of the cutter-lever, which move together in the opposite direction.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 4s. 3d.)

No. 27491.—31st March, 1910.—KENNETH MCKENZIE FRASER, of Otakeho, Taranaki, New Zealand, Inventor. Improvements in aeroplanes.*

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to aeroplanes, and provides means whereby the warping by wind-pressure, or by a hand-wheel, of a wing of an aeroplane upon one side of the machine automatically warps in a reverse direction the corresponding wing on the other side of the machine. The invention further provides means for bending the ribs of a wing into a curve best suited to sustain the machine in the air, and means for operating a horizontal rudder and warping the wing by a single shaft.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 6s. 6d.)

No. 27553.—9th April, 1910.—GEORGE HUTCHINSON, of Christchurch, New Zealand, Engineer. Improved seed-sower.*

Claims.—(1.) In a device of the class described, the combination with a suitable casing adapted to receive seed and a vertically arranged disc having notches formed round its corners adapted to receive seed from the casing and carry it outside as the disc revolves, said notches being formed somewhat tangentially rather than truly radially with respect to the disc in order to enable the seed to pass vertically down such notches as the said notches emerge from between the walls of the casing as the disc revolves.

[NOTE.—Here follow two other claims.]
(Specification, 4s. 3d.)

No. 27609.—19th April, 1910.—JOHN MURDOCH, of Dunedin, New Zealand, Draper. Improvements in men’s trousers and the like garments.*

No. 27619.—21st April, 1910.—GEORGE GRAY, of Reid and Gray, Dunedin, New Zealand, Engineer. Improvements in ridging-machines and in concave rollers used thereon.*

Claims.—(1.) In a ridging-machine having the discs mounted as described in specification No. 26522, means whereby the rising of the discs on striking an obstruction disengages the hand-lever by which the discs are set, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. . . . (4.) In a ridging-machine, a concave roller formed of two or more independently revolvable sections mounted side by side on a common axle, substantially as described.

(Specification, 4s.)

No. 27635.—27th April, 1910.—CHARLES EDWARD BIRD, of Challis House, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Manufacturer. Improvements in cavity-wall ties.*

Extract from Specification.—The wire is twice bent as shown at D to form three parallel bars A B C, and the free ends are inturned as shown at F and G to form a mortar-grip. The ends of the bars are all bent downward from the points M so as to set into the frog L of a brick as clearly shown in Fig. 2, and centrally they are jogged to form V-drip bends H to intercept water.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 1s. 9d.)
