Notice of Acceptance of Complete Specifications.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 25th January, 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. 26807.—25th October, 1909.—THOMAS PERCY SMITH, of Devon Street East, New Plymouth, New Zealand, Borough Turncock, and CHARLES JAMES MACLEAN, of Molesworth Street East, New Plymouth aforesaid, Plumber. An improved washdown closet-pan.*

Claims.—(1.) A closet-pan characterized by having a deep inwardly, downwardly, and outwardly curved flange on its top edge, formed to provide an opening between its bottom and the surface of the pan, of greater width at the back than at the front of the pan, and a full-way water-inlet extending along beneath the flange in one direction, and adapted to discharge the water horizontally beneath the flange in the same direction, substantially as and for the purposes specified. (2.) The improved washdown closet-pan constructed and operating substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
(Specification, 2s. 9d.)

No. 27388.—5th March, 1910.—JOHN WILLIAM WALKER, of Willow Park Road, Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand, Orchadist. Improved music-turner.*

Extract from Specification.—The appliance employed consists of a number of arms arranged one above the other upon a common axis attached to a frame, and each of which arms is free to turn in either direction upon its axis. Each arm is also provided with a segment of a pinion arranged concentrically upon the axis. Arranged in the frame is a sliding-plate, on the face of which short toothed racks are secured. These racks are arranged one above the other and in lines corresponding respectively with each pinion. The racks are also stepped regularly so that each one is a regular distance to one side of the one next below it. This arrangement thus provides for the pinions being engaged by the respective racks when the plate is moved along, and for each pinion being engaged in its turn with that below it. The engagement of the racks with the pinions will impart the required turning movement to the arms. The arms are provided on their free ends with spring grips or clips by means of which each one may be attached to a sheet of music. The sliding-plate is adapted to be moved in either direction by means of a tipping-lever having a pair of pawls thereon, which pawls engage with teeth on the plate when the lever is tipped and move the plate a distance equal to the longitudinal distance between each two racks.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 5s. 6d.)

No. 27497.—24th March, 1910.—WILLIAM STOKES, Jun., of Christchurch, New Zealand, Motor-engineer. Improved fire-alarm for buildings and the like.*

Claims.—(1.) A device of the class described comprising a base-plate provided with a knife-edge upon which is fulcrumed a lever, a spring tending to draw the free end of the said lever towards a fixed terminal and a somewhat weaker spring opposing it, a suitable wire or connection secured to the said lever adapted to normally hold it clear of said terminal, said wire being adapted to expand with rise of temperature and permit said lever to make contact with said terminal, and means whereby the device may be adjusted so as to cause this action to take place at any desired degree of temperature, substantially as and for the purpose indicated.
[NOTE.—Here follow five other claims.]
