Notice of Acceptance of Complete Specifications.

Patent Office,

Wellington, 26th July, 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. 28115.—19th July, 1910.—WALTER SEIFERT, of Palmerston North, New Zealand, Flax-miller. Improved means for use in the operation of flax-catching appliances.*

Extract from Specification.—In carrying out the invention the stripper-drum spindle is mounted in sliding bearings that are spring-cushioned in such a manner that when a blade is fed into the machine between the drum and the beater-bar the drum will move back against the action of the springs. A lever-arm or like appliance is pivoted on the stripper-frame in such a position that one end will lie in the line of movement of the drum-spindle as it is pressed back so that the level will be rocked on each movement of such spindle. The other end of the lever is then connected to the catching-appliances to be set in action so that the movements of the lever may be communicated to them in any of the well-known ways.

(Specification, 3s. 6d.)

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

No. 28264.—16th August, 1910.—JOSEPH MARGULIES LONDON, of 20 Central Hill, Norwood, London, England, Gentleman. Improvements in the construction of trumpets or sound-amplifiers.*

Claims.—(1.) A trumpet or a portion of a trumpet for a talking-machine, or other musical instrument, or for other purposes, comprising a framework with a polygonal aperture therein, and a flap pivotally attached at each face of the polygon in such a way that the flaps, when all closed, lie flat over one another, and when all open, form a complete bell, for the purposes set forth.

(Specification, 5s. 9d.)

[NOTE.—Here follow four other claims.]

No. 28319.—24th August, 1910.—ALEXANDER WALKER REID, of Stratford, New Zealand, Engineer. An improved vacuum-operated pulsator for milking-machines.*

Extract from Specification.—A bed-plate that is formed with a pair of apertures therein adapted to be connected with vacuum and with the teat-cups, and a second pair of apertures which are arranged respectively on opposite sides of the aperture connected with the vacuum. This latter pair of apertures are connected with the respective ends of a slide-valve chamber. Mounted on the bed-plate is a D valve, so formed that when in one position it will provide a passage between the apertures connected with the teat-cups and the vacuum, and at the same time provide a passage between the vacuum and the aperture leading to one end of the valve-chamber, and, when in another position, to uncover the aperture leading to the teat-cups and the aperture connected with the valve-chamber, and to provide a passage leading from the vacuum-aperture to the aperture connected with the reverse end of the valve-chamber. The D valve is adapted to be moved reciprocally over the bed-plate in order to alternately occupy these two positions by means of the movements of a piston mounted within a cylinder. This cylinder is adapted to have its two ends alternately connected with air and vacuum by the movements of a special form of valve mounted in the valve-chamber, and thus to actuate the piston and D valve, and by the movements of the D valve cause the slide-valve to be actuated to reverse the connections of the cylinder.

(Specification, 8s. 9d.)

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

No. 28362.—31st August, 1910.—CHARLES ALBERT OLDMAN, of Waiau, New Zealand, Blacksmith. Automatic drill-lubricating attachment for blacksmith drilling-machines.*

Claims.—(1.) The automatic drill-lubricator consisting of a curved or semi-circular lubricator, adapted to fasten on the drill-chuck and automatically lubricate the drill with a regulated supply of lubricant, substantially as described. (2.) The automatic drill-lubricating attachment for blacksmith drilling-machines constructed and operating substantially as described and illustrated, and for the purpose specified.

(Specification, 1s. 3d.)

No. 28386.—6th September, 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 business at 205 Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts, in said United States of America (assignees of Arthur Bates, of Leicester, England, Engineer).

(10.) For an assembling or lasting and like machine, the combination with an oscillatory hopper and a reciprocatory tack - separating device, of mechanism for actuating the hopper once in each cycle of operations of the machine, and means driven from said actuating mechanism to impart to the separating-device two complete reciprocations for each oscillation of the hopper. . . . (20.) A shoe-making machine having, in combination, shoe-positioning means, means operating a plurality of times on the same portion of stock for forcing the upper from the edge inwardly over the last-bottom, and means operating automatically to raise and lower the shoe with relation to said overworking-means to vary its pressure upon the shoe. . . . (30.) A machine of the class described having, in combination, mechanism for feeding and driving fastenings, manually controlled means adapted to be set during a cycle of the machine’s operation to delay the driving
