[No. 53

No. 29606.—25th May, 1911.—PETER MURPHY, of 11 Shepherd Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Sheet-metal Worker. Improved water-heater, principally for domestic purposes.

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention, the objects are attained by passing the water through a flat spiral passage of coarse pitch and small transverse section formed on the inner surface of the casing or shell of the heater and surrounding the heating-chamber whereby the water passes slowly through the heater in a vertical spiral film, which is the most effective form for readily absorbing the heat, and providing in said chamber a suspended vertical spiral baffle-plate of sheet metal whereby the heat is effectively conserved within the heating-chamber for absorption by the water flowing about the wall of said chamber. (Specification, 5s. 3d.)

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

No. 29614.—27th May, 1911.—MILTON RHODES VARNHAM, of Cornwall Street, Masterton, New Zealand, Architect. An improved fastener for casement windows, French windows, fanlights, and the like.

Extract from Specification.—According hereto, a bar pivoted at one end upon a screw has its other end bent or shaped into a right angle, forming a cross-member wherein a slot is provided. A bar secured to the window or fanlight passes through the slot, and is slidable therein. A catch provided upon the frame of the window is adapted to receive the bar and secure it in the closed position of the window. In the case of French windows, a spring is provided which lifts the bar and retains it in the catch. (Specification, 3s.)

No. 29617.—27th May, 1911.—HARRY JENSEN, of Mata-pouri, New Zealand, Farmer. Improved wire-strainer appliances.

Extract from Specification.—In carrying out the invention the frame is formed of a length of flat metal, bent at each end so as to form a broad U shape. The extremity of one member is made to receive the bearings for the straining-barrel, which then project inwards so that the barrel will lie transversely across between the two members. The other member is turned over sideways at its end, so as to form a groove into which the wire to be strained may pass. A sliding-plate is secured to the face of this member, and is adapted to slide up and engage with the wire in the groove and then clamp it therein by means of a wedge. An arm having a similar grip is removably attached to the first member of the frame in order that, when straining two ends of wires together, both ends may be gripped while being tied together. (Specification, 3s. 6d.)

No. 29624.—30th May, 1910.†—SARAH ANN JENYNS, of 321 George Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Surgical-instrument Maker. Improvements in corsets.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists in constructing a corset in such a manner that pressure may be applied as desired to any lower portion of the body, which I attain by providing three separate and distinct lacings at the back, an insertion of elastic web along the full length of each side, a belt-attachment fastened to the lower back lacing, adapted to buckle on to an adjustable detachable lappet buttoned on to the front of the corset, and a pad sewn on the inside at the particular spot where necessary. (Specification, 2s. 6d.)

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

No. 29628.—30th May, 1911.—CHARLES ARTHUR ALFORD, of 6 St. Vincent Place, South Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Overseer, and EDWY GORDON FINCH, care of J. W. Israel, Esq., of “Eshcol,” Sackville Street, Kew, Victoria aforesaid, Wool-classer. Means for artificially drying fleeces on sheep prior to shearing.

Extract from Specification.—Briefly stated, the invention consists in means whereby warm air under pressure is applied to the fleece on the sheep in order to absorb the moisture therefrom and then to allow it to quickly escape. (Specification, 3s. 3d.)

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

No. 29635.—30th May, 1911.—HAMILTON LABATT WORTHINGTON, of Vacy, Paterson, New South Wales, Australia, Engineer. Improved barrier for use on ships’ hawsers for arresting and entrapping rats and like animals.

Claims.—(1.) A barrier for the prevention of the passage of rodents along a ship’s hawser comprising a pair of semi-discs, the upper and lower members of which are suitably secured to one another by a hinge, and a spring adapted to draw the upper and lower members together to secure the apparatus in place upon the hawser or hawsers of a ship. (Specification, 3s. 9d.)

[NOTE.—Here follow three other claims.]

No. 29650.—1st June, 1911.—THEODORE WALLACE and PERCY WALLACE, both of No. 240 Parramatta Road, Petersham, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Perambulator and Go-cart Manufacturers. An improved automatic collapsible go-cart under-carriage.

Extract from Specification.—The under-carriage, while serving to support the seating-floor (together with the foot and back rests), also carries a central push-bar provided with bifurcated connecting-rods which are pivoted to the bar at one end and to hinges at the opposite end, the said hinges being secured to pivoted wheel-frames attached to fixed brackets secured to the under-carriage. An upper framework, partly attached to the bent handle-bar and to the under-carriage, stands above the framework on each side, and is associated, by means of a double-jointed connecting-rod, with the push-bar, and forms its actuating mechanism, but is kept rigid with diagonally situated jointed struts, which, when straightened, prevent the go-cart from collapsing, but, when lifted at the jointed part, will allow the collapsing operation to take place. (Specification, 8s.)

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

No. 29652.—11th October, 1910.†—WILLIAM LISTER LISTER, Artist, and JOHN KIRKBY BATESON LISTER, Engineer, both of “Castalla,” Redan Street, Mosman, New South Wales, Australia. An improved device for inserting links in shirt-cuffs.

Extract from Specification.—A bifolded strip of wedge-shaped spring material, such as sheet metal, adapted to be passed through the ordinary orifices in a shirt-cuff, one of its members provided with a longitudinal corrugation tapering towards the pointed end of the strip and terminating in a flared-mouthed slot near the other end of said strip. (Specification, 3s. 6d.)
