of the exit-aperture therefrom, and a washer of cork, rubber,
or other suitable material fits against this shoulder. The
plug-end, which is made plain, passes through the washer,
and the washer thereby serves to seal the plug and socket
from leakage through the screw-thread portions thereof.

No. 27753.—18th May, 1910.—OTTO HEINRICH STAPEL-
FELDT, of 508 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
(attorney for J. Hirschhorn, of 148-9 Kopenicker Strasse,
Berlin, S.O., Germany, Manufacturers, assignee of Douglas
Benjamin Houghton, of Pitt Street, Sydney, New South
Wales, Australia, Gas Engineer). Improvements in inverted
incandescent gas-lamps.*

Extract from Specification.—Providing a central tube lead-
ing from the central casing or bracket at the top to the crown-
plate at the bottom of the lamp, having a removable cap or
cock at its lower end for the withdrawal of any water accu-
mulating therein. As a means of preventing water from
entering the pilot-light pipe, I extend the said pipe by means
of a small bent tube upwards some distance within the gas-
supply pipe, so that an excessive quantity would have to ac-
cumulate within the said supply-pipe above the level of the
said tube before entering the pilot-pipe.

No. 27781.—23rd May, 1910.—JOHN PAUL MALONEY, of
Portrose, New Zealand, Inventor. Improved apparatus for
wiring and stapling angular boxes, especially for cheese and
suchlike.*

Claims.—(1.) In binding cases with stapled wire, the de-
vices as set forth for binding and stapling over the said
binding-wire into the wood of the case, all substantially as
shown on the drawing and as described and as explained.
(2.) In a machine for binding and stapling, the device for
lowering the frame when placed over a case so that the case
is gripped centrally, the subsequent raising of the frame on
to all its wheels by the reversal of the same device, combined
with the device as set forth, for turning to the next flat of
the case by the lifting of the main levers, all substantially
as set forth.

(Specification, 3s.)

No. 27787.—27th May, 1910.—ANDREW HAIG DUXFIELD,
of Hawera, New Zealand, Saddler. An improved hock-boot
or device for the protection of horses’ hocks whilst working
or racing.*

Extract from Specification.—In carrying out the invention,
the boot is formed as hitherto of two portions, an upper and
lower portion arranged to overlap and fastened to each
other in such a manner as to permit of them hinging trans-
versely. The upper portion is adapted to lie alongside the
leg above the hock-joint, while the lower portion is shaped
to cover such joint, and is in this invention formed with a
rearward extension of stiff material, such as steel, that is
curved round to fit round the back of such joint. The two
members are secured in position by means of straps and
buckles attached to elastic bands that are made fast to the
respective edges of the boot.

No. 27948.—23rd June, 1910.—HENRY JAMES MCBETH, of
Drayton Street, Dalby, Queensland, Australia, Saddler, and
THOMAS MCILLWRAITH TAYLOR, of Jimbour, Queensland,
Australia aforesaid, Pastoralist. -Improvements in means for
releasing stirrup-leathers.*

Claim.—In means for releasing stirrup-leathers, a plate
having a D-shaped spring bar, which rests in a hook loosely
riveted at nearly right angles thereto, through a wire to an
indicator device that is caused to move correspondingly with
the transmitter. A number of pointer-indicators may be
respectively arranged in circuit with an equivalent number
of the transmitters and with the order-indicator so that an
indication may be given of the point of transmission as well
as the order transmitted.

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

(Specification, 6s. 6d.)

No. 27973.—25th June, 1910.—HILARY QUERTIER, of Wel-
ington, New Zealand, Engineer. Improvements in electric
message transmission and indicating apparatus.*

Extract from Specification.—The means devised consist
mainly in a transmitting-appliance constructed to automatic-
ally send a number of electric impulses, governed by the posi-
tion to which a selector-switch is moved, through a wire to an
indicator device that is caused to move correspondingly with
the transmitter. A number of pointer-indicators may be
respectively arranged in circuit with an equivalent number
of the transmitters and with the order-indicator so that an
indication may be given of the point of transmission as well
as the order transmitted.

(Specification, 6s. 6d.)

No. 28049.—9th July, 1910.—ARTHUR RAINSFORD CRAD-
DOCK and WILLIAM SCOTT, of Christchurch, New Zealand,
Engineers. An improved matchlining-cramp.*

Extract from Specification.—The cramp consists of a tri-
angular frame adapted to span a stud or joist and having
lugs on each side. On one side the lug extends the full
length of the frame, and has studs or points to grip the side
of the timber; the lug on the other side carries a thumb-
screw with a pointed end or foot, by means of which the cramp
can be tightened up on to the stud. The frame of the cramp
is adapted to carry a plunger or ram, which either slides
in slots in the casting or is itself slotted and held in place by
screws or pins. To this ram is attached a lever by means
of a pin, while the end of the lever is slotted to engage a
pin attached to the frame. The opposite end of the lever
moves over a toothed quadrant, and a pawl serves to hold the
lever, and therefore the ram, in any position. The ram has
a head formed to take the top of the matchlining-board.

No. 28109.—19th July, 1910.—UNITED SHOE MACHINERY
COMPANY, of Paterson, in the State of New Jersey, United
States of America, a corporation duly organized under the
laws of said State of New Jersey, carrying on business as
Shoe-machinery Manufacturers, and having a place of busi-
ness at 205 Lincoln Street, Boston, in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, in said United States of America (assignees
of Andrew Eppler, of Lynn, Essex, and said Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, Inventor). Improvements in or relating
to Shoe-sewing Machines.*

Claims.—(1.) For an in-seam-shoe-sewing machine, the com-
bination with a welt-guide and means for advancing the
guide toward the work and for withdrawing it therefrom,
of means for maintaining the guide in advanced position
during at least one cycle of operations of the machine. (2.)
For an in-seam-shoe-sewing machine, the combination with
a welt-guide, of mechanism that tends to retract the welt-
guide during each cycle of operations of the machine, means
for maintaining the guide in advanced position during the
first cycle, or first series of cycles, of operations, and
mechanism for rendering the said means inoperative there-
after while the machine continues in operation. . . . (9.)
In a chain-stitch shoe-sewing machine, a stitch-setting take-
up acting when the needle is in the work, and a spring-
actuated or other tension device operating to exert a
uniform and relatively light tension on the thread during the
retracting or loop-drawing stroke of the needle, to cause the
needle to shorten the preceding loop, and an increased tension
during the setting of the stitch.

[NOTE.—Here follow five other claims.]
