No. 30684. — 3rd January, 1912. — CLAUDE STANLEY RICHARDSON, Engineer, of No. 57 Buckingham Gate, London S.W., England; FRANK PERCY RICHARDSON, Picture-dealer of No. 65 Barrowgate Road, Chiswick, London W., England; and JULES FREDERIC DEFORDT, Picture-restorer, of No. 8 Rue la Tribune, Brussels, Belgium. Improvements in variable-speed gears.

Extract from Specification.—Our invention consists in the construction and arrangement described, and one of its primary features consists in providing a fluid-apparatus by which the intermediate member may be positively driven as well as retarded, the fluid-device serving either as a fluid-brake or as a motor. By this means the fluid-device which is normally used for varying the speed may be utilized as a self-starter for the engine, or possibly even to move the vehicle short distances, a reservoir for storing the motive-pressure fluid being provided. This reservoir may be charged by the exhaust gases from the engine, or by the fluid-device when the latter is acting as a pump, or by other means. The fluid-device when acting as a motor is preferably of the expansion type. We may provide a fluid-braking device of variable stroke, and this would have the advantage that when in the zero position there would be no reciprocation of its pistons, and consequently no wear, although the benefits of its use as a self-starter for the engine would have to be sacrificed.

Claims.—(1.) A process of making bread which consists in incorporating with the flour or dough before baking a small quantity of a harmless salt containing loosely combined oxygen. (2.) A process of making bread which consists in incorporating with the flour or dough before baking a small quantity of harmless persalt, such as a persulphate.

No. 30782. — 23rd January, 1912. — MARY ELIZABETH BUDGE, of Christchurch, New Zealand, Spinster. Improved head-cap for surgical and curative purposes.

Claim. — A device of the class described, comprising a plurality of non-elastic bands adapted to be passed around the sides of the head and beneath the chin, and to be drawn together with the requisite degree of tension by means of lacing arranged at the top of the head, said bands being united by means of webs in which are formed a pouch to receive the chin, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
(Specification, 3s.)

No. 30818. — 5th February, 1912. — WILLIAM CABLE, of Wellington, New Zealand, Ironfounder. Improvement in evaporating-apparatus.

Claim. — An evaporating-apparatus having both vertical and horizontal pipes, substantially as described.
(Specification, 1s. 3d.)

No. 30822. — 6th February, 1912. — CHARLES JULES MÉGEVET, Manufacturer, and LUCIEN PICKER, Engineer, both of Rue Malatrex 7 and 9, Geneva, Confederation of Switzerland. Device allowing to employ heavy liquid fuels in the feeding of combustion-engines.

Claim.—(1.) A device allowing to employ heavy liquid fuels for the feeding of internal-combustion engines, comprising a tube to be connected at one end with the exhaust of an internal-combustion engine so as to be maintained at a high temperature by the exhaust gases of the engine whenever the same is running, and around of which is arranged another conduit of greater diameter for the passage of the air feeding a carburettor of usual type connected at one end of said conduit, so that the air sucked in through the carburettor is heated to a high temperature before reaching the carburettor.
(Specification, 3s. 6d.)

No. 30823.—6th February, 1912.—CHARLES JULES MÉGEVET, Manufacturer, and LUCIEN PICKER, Engineer, both of Rue Malatrex 7 and 9, Geneva, Confederation of Switzerland. Carburettor for internal-combustion engines.

Extract from Specification.—According to the present invention, the admission of primary and secondary air are con-

trolled by two organs, the relative position of which may at will be changed to modify the ratio of the sections of the passages for the primary and the secondary air. The said organs may further be arranged so as to allow to vary the section of the passage for the primary air without acting upon the organ controlling the admission of the secondary air, so as to allow to effect the adjustment of the carburettor for the working at full load of the motor without action on its adjustment for the working with reduced load of the motor, and vice versa. The invention further comprises certain arrangements of parts which will now be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention and some parts of a modified form of the same.

No. 30824. — 6th February, 1912. — ROBERT STANISLAUS GOLDSTRAW, of Camperdown, Victoria, Australia, Dairyman. Improvements in teat-cup supports to facilitate milking.

Claim.—(1.) A teat-cup support having a cord or the like supported by pulleys on a slidable arm, each end of the cord having a hook or the like, the inner hook being weighted and self-detachable when the other hook is released, in combination with a stop on the outer part of the cord, and means for taking up slackness of the said outer part of the cord when the hooks are set in supporting position.
(Specification, 4s. 6d.)

[NOTE.—Here follow five other claims.]

No. 30827.—6th February, 1912.—GEORGE FINDLAY, of Karamu Road, Hastings, New Zealand, Baker. Improved apparatus for preventing horses from bolting.

Claim.—(2.) In apparatus for the purpose indicated, the combination of the tube fixed to the vehicle, a rod slidable telescopically therein, an arm projecting at right angles from the bottom thereof, and an arm pivoted upon the upper end, substantially as specified and illustrated.
(Specification, 2s. 9d.)

No. 30832.—7th February, 1912.—AKTIEBOLAGET PRIMUS, of Lilla Essingen, Stockholm, Sweden, Manufacturers (assignees of Frans Wilhelm Lindgvist, of Lilla Essingen aforesaid). An improved igniting-device for heating or illuminating apparatus working with vaporized hydrocarbon.

Extract from Specification.—Consists of a channel the side walls of which are extended upwards and perforated or provided with slits. This channel, which may be straight or more or less curved, is placed beneath or beside the vaporizer, and is filled with petroleum or other hydrocarbon, which is ignited. A wick, arranged in the channel, may be used for absorbing part of the hydrocarbon and thus facilitating its combustion. The hydrocarbon in the channel thus is burned very rapidly by reason of the ample supply of air through the perforations or slits in the side walls of the channel, thus developing a heat sufficient for initiating the vaporization of the hydrocarbon in the vaporizer of the heating or lighting apparatus.

No. 30846.—9th February, 1912.—WILLIAM TURNBULL, of Lambton Quay, Wellington, New Zealand, Architect. Improvement relating to hatpins.

Extract from Specification. — According hereto, a hollow ornamental boss or casing is provided with a body-part having a serrated or notched rim, whereby spikes are formed with ends adapted to pierce the side of a hat and to be turned over or clinched inside the same. Intermediately of the spikes, tabs are formed and retain a disc of fine cork, which is held in position against a shoulder or flange near the bottom of the boss. The boss is so formed as to leave a space at the back of the cork disc, and the tapering ends of the pins pass into this space, thereby allowing the parallel part of the pin to pass into the cork and be effectively gripped. The boss is permanently fixed in position, and forms a feature in the ornamentation of the hat.
