Notice of Acceptance of Complete Specifications.

Patent Office,
Wellington, 17th April, 1912.

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. 29481.—8th May, 1911.—PETER ROBINSON, Carpenter, and ENDELL WANKLYN, Commission Agent, both of Foxton, New Zealand. Flax-tailing clipper.*

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists, broadly, in the employment of a stationary knife-blade or block, across the edge of which the flax-tails are dragged by the chain, in conjunction with a rotating knife blade or blades, which in their rotation pass across the stationary blade and thereby sever the portion of the blade hanging over its edge.
(Specification, 3s. 3d.)

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

No. 29503.—2nd May, 1911.—SCOTT SYMINGTON, of Invercargill, New Zealand, Electrical Engineer. Improvements in section-insulators for overhead electric trolley-lines.*

Extract from Specification.—The principal objects of the improvements are to provide an insulator in which the insulation is supplied by means of ordinary strain insulators, and so applied that the strain of the trolley-wire is transmitted directly to and in the same plane as the axis of the insulators, thereby relieving all strain on the body of the insulator, excepting tensional ones, and providing perfect insulation in a cheap form. These objects are attained by the use of two metal brackets or plates (aa), arched in shape and with tongues (bb) on the under-side, along which the trolley-wheel runs. The trolley-wire (cc) is attached to one end of each of these brackets by the clamping blocks and nuts (dd) in a direct line with the tongues on the under-side and so as to attain a smooth under-running surface.
(Specification, 1s. 9d.)

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

No. 29704.—9th June, 1911.—MILDRED ANNIE TRENT, of Christchurch, New Zealand, Spinster. A combined coffee- and milk-urn.*

Extract from Specification.—The appliance designed consists of a bottom chamber, preferably of cylindrical form, adapted to contain water and to be supported or built over a gas-burner or other heating-apparatus. A second chamber is constructed to fit into and rest upon the top of the bottom chamber so as to close such top, being supported therein by means of a ledge extending out from the side of the upper chamber and resting on the edge of the lower chamber. Each chamber is provided with a draw-off tap opening through its side, and arranged near the bottom thereof.
