Notice of Acceptance of Complete Specifications.

Patent Office,

Wellington, 24th May, 1911.

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. 27684.—5th May, 1910.—HENRY HUBERT GILSHNAN, of Kakaramea, New Zealand, Farmer. Improved means for fastening a whip-thong to the handle.*

Claims.—(1.) Means for fastening a whip-thong to its handle, consisting of a tapered sleeve or ferrule adapted to receive the handle in its back end, split medially into two halves at its back end, and formed with a screw thread on its outer periphery, and with a loop to receive the thong on its outer end, and a nut fitting on the outside of the ferrule and adapted to force the two halves thereof together, substantially as specified. (2.) The improved means for fastening a whip-thong to the handle substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

No. 27709.—7th May, 1910.—JOHN COOK and HENRY THOMPSON, of Temuka, South Canterbury, New Zealand, Carpenters. Combined oven-slide holder and stand.*

Claims.—(1.) A holder and stand for oven-slides consisting of a frame adapted to fit beneath the slide, formed with supporting legs, and provided with handles projecting therefrom, substantially as specified. (2.) A holder and stand for oven-slides consisting of a frame adapted to fit beneath the slide, and formed with supporting legs, and handles mounted in slides on the frame and adapted to be moved to project from either end thereof, substantially as specified. (3.) The combined oven-slide holder and stand constructed and operated substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

(Specification, 2s. 9d.)

No. 27713.—11th May, 1910.—FRANK CASTLE, of Crummer Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand, Electrical Engineer; EDWARD JOSHUA RIDDIFORD, of Lower Hutt, New Zealand, Sheep-farmer; WILLIAM EDWARD BRIDWILL, of Feathers-ton, New Zealand, Sheep-farmer; and LESLIE LOUIS MCDERMOTT, of Mount Eden Road, Auckland, New Zealand, Agent. Improvements in electric-alarm systems.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists in the employment of two relays at the central station, and each arranged in circuit with the closed circuit. One of these relays is made of greater resistance than the other, so that the current of the closed circuit is prevented from flowing through it. The armature of this relay is arranged to close a local indicator-alarm circuit when the relay is energized, while the armature of the weaker relay is arranged to close a separate local indicator-alarm circuit when it is de-energized. A relay circuit is arranged in the building in which the installation is placed, such circuit being adapted to be closed or opened by the action of thermostats or other appliances. A local battery circuit is also arranged in such building, and this circuit is adapted to be closed by the movement of the relay armature. This circuit is placed in series connection with the closed-circuit communication leading to the central station, so that upon the local battery circuit being completed a current will be sent through the line-wires sufficiently strong to overcome the resistance of the stronger relay, and cause its armature to be attracted, and close the alarm circuit at the station.

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