No. 28531.—9th February, 1910.†—OSBORNE ERNEST WILSON, of Meadow Bank, Kingston Road, Didsbury, near Manchester, Lancaster, England, Engineer. An improved adjustable bonding-stirrup and tie-bar for use in reinforced-concrete constructions.

Claims.—(1.) The use and application of improved stirrups and tie-bars, each having a loop at one end or both ends as required, such loop being formed by bending the metal round the bar it embraces, and being secured rigidly but adjustably on the bar by means of a wedge either with or without an intermediate piece or gib, substantially as and for the purposes described. (2.) The several combinations of parts arranged and operating substantially as and for the purposes described with reference to the drawings.

(Specification, 3s. 9d.)

No. 28608.—19th October, 1910.—FREDERICK JAMES SHELTON, of Wellington, New Zealand, Importer. Improvements in acetylene-generators.

Extract from Specification.—Consists in constructing the carbide-holder as a can adapted to fit into a tray secured to the lower end of the usual frame for suspending the holder. The can is provided with a perforated cover that is held in place by means of hinged straps extending down from it to the sides of tray. These straps also serve to hold the can firmly in position upon the tray.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 3s. 3d.)

No. 28756.—17th November, 1910.—WALTER RIDDELL, General Manager Taieri and Peninsula Dairy Factory, Dunedin, New Zealand. Improvements in coating cheeses with paraffine wax.

Claims.—(1.) In dipping cheeses in, and soaking them in, melted composition of paraffine, a revolving wheel receiving them one by one, dipping them, allowing them to remain in the composition, and lifting them to a platform, all substantially as shown in the drawing, and as described and as explained.

(Specification, 2s. 6d.)

No. 28775.—24th November, 1910.—ERNEST HAYES, of Oturuhua, Otago, New Zealand, Machinist. New or improved wire grip.

Claims.—(1.) The serrated grip jaw. (2.) In a new or improved wire grip, the combination of parts substantially as set forth and described, and for the purpose stated. (3.) The improved wire grip for the purpose of straining fence-wires and the like, as set forth and described.

(Specification, 1s.)

No. 28781.—23rd November, 1910.—CECIL GEORGE MCKELLAR, of 100 Gloucester Street West, Christchurch, New Zealand, Consulting Engineer. Improvements in float-valves for water-waste preventers.

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention the valve-chamber is water-sealed by arranging outlet so that water passes away from upper portion of valve-chamber, and afterwards runs down an inclined pipe or open channel to bottom of cistern.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 2s. 3d.)

No. 28829.—6th December, 1910.—VICTOR NIGHTINGALL, of 260 Russell Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Electrical Engineer. Improvements in electric cooking-appliances and water-heaters.

Extract from Specification.—An electric cooking-stove or range constructed according to this invention comprises an outer chamber 1 (see Figs. 1, 2, and 11) encircling the oven or inner chamber 2, the space between being packed with a suitable non-conducting material 3, or the inner and outer chambers may be made airtight and a vacuum formed between the two. In this way radiation from the heating or cooking chamber is reduced to a minimum, and the heating effect of the current passing through the heating coil or coils 4 of the electric burner is maintained. The heater or burner coil or coils of high-resistance wire may be arranged to encircle the oven or cooking-chamber 2. The preferred form, however, is illustrated in Fig. 10. A coil of high-resistance wire 4 is wound around insulators 5 supported in a rectangular-shaped frame 6 adapted to be slid into the bottom of the oven. Each winding of the coil of high-resistance wire 4 is thus separated by the insulating-medium 5. Contact-plugs 7 and 8 at the rear of the frame 6 are adapted to enter sockets attached to the rear part of the oven so as to complete an electrical circuit when the burner is placed in position and the current switched on. To minimize loss of heat from the oven a non-conducting packing-strip may be inserted between a flange around the front edge of the oven or inner chamber 2 and the front of the outer chamber 1. A door 9 is hinged or otherwise mounted on the front of the stove or oven, and to prevent heat escaping it is preferably formed hollow and filled with suitable non-conducting material, or a vacuum may be formed therein.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 17s. 6d.)

No. 28833.—5th December, 1910.—JOHN MAY, of 139 Bourke Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Clerk. Improved apparatus for cooling liquids.

Claims.—(1.) In apparatus for cooling liquids, in combination, the employment of a cylindrical or other shaped casing, in the interior of which is placed a casing with sufficient space between to form a channel for the circulation of the liquid to be cooled, and providing a chamber for the cooling-medium, a pipe leading the liquid to be cooled into the lower part of the annular channel, and a pipe leading from the upper part of such annular channel to the point of delivery, substantially as described.

[NOTE.—Here follow five other claims.]
(Specification, 6s.)

No. 28836.—7th December, 1910.—SAMUEL BOWERING MARCHANT, of Balaklava, South Australia, Architect. Improvements in and relating to the erection and construction of walls and buildings.

Extract from Specification.—Erecting the walls within a framing or mould of a corresponding surface-area and dimensions, into which from the top a series of pipes or tubes at intervals is passed, and cement or concrete poured around and between the pipes alternately with bonds or layers of interlacing material in such manner as to form a ferro-concrete interlaced and partially hollow structure, from which the framing or mould is removed when the walls have set.

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