Extract from Specification.—The mirror-stand consists of the usual uprights, and to these uprights are pivoted arms, and at the other ends of such arms are pivoted links. Such links are provided with arms pivoted thereto and having toothed recesses capable of holding a lug or pin on each of the uppermost arms.

No. 31027.—13th March, 1912.—ROBERT MURTON POOLE, Draper, and FREDERICK HENRY DANIEL, Solicitor, both of Mount Gambier, South Australia, Australia. Improvements in spraying-system and apparatus.

Extract from Specification.—By this system a pumping plant is used with automatic mixers for producing a spraying-compound having the strength required for use, and in addition there is a system of surface or underground pipes extending to and between the trees and the plants of any desired extensive fruitgrowing-area, constituted by one or a series of orchards or the like. The owners of such orchards are thus enabled to secure the benefits of co-operation, and many owners may each spray at one time and each one have one or more men engaged in spraying independently of other men’s assistance locally. There are provided various mixers, pressure-spraying devices, and connections constituting the features of novelty.

Claims.—(1.) In tachometers, a spring-controlled centrifugal governor adapted to operate an angle lever provided with a pin engaging a groove in the indicating-lever, said groove being shaped so as to compensate for the difference between the centrifugal force of the governor and the resistance of the balancing spiral spring thereof. (2.) In tachometers, an angle lever operated by a spring-controlled centrifugal governor and provided with a pin engaging a double-inclined groove in the indicating-lever, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

No. 31038.—14th March, 1912.—JOSEPH ALBERT HILL, of Bernard Road Park, Sheffield, York, England, Engineer. Improvements in and relating to furnace-grates for locomotive and other boilers and other purposes.

Extract from Specification.—The invention consists primarily in dividing the furnace-grate into two or more portions, so arranged that they may be tilted in such a manner as to leave one or more gaps or slots through which the fire may be instantly dropped. The invention also consists in providing means for simultaneously tilting the several portions of the furnace-grate. The invention also consists in the combination with means for tilting or rocking the separate portions of the furnace, of means for shaking the firebars as required for cleaning the grate.

No. 31048.—19th March, 1912.—GEORGE JOHN HOSKINS, M.Inst.M.E., of Wattle Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Engineer. Machine for trimming or fettling the socket and spigot ends of cast-iron pipes.

Claims.—(1.) Mechanical self-accommodating appliances as shown in Fig. 4, consisting of a sleeve with a cylindrical exterior but a square interior, such sleeve being adapted to revolve in a plane at right angles to its axis, but not susceptible to endway movement, in combination with an interior square sleeve having a central salient square block with four faces slightly convex, and a spindle within the square sleeve, the spindle having a square block adapted to loosely fit the square interior of the square sleeve, the square sleeve and the spindle being adapted to revolve with the outer sleeve in a plane at right angles to their axis, but the square sleeve and the spindle being adapted to have endway movement imparted to them independently of each other, as and for the purposes set forth. (2.) The appliances as set forth in claim (1), in combination with a cylindrical extension of the inner square sleeve, the cylindrical extension terminating in a chuck-face carrying adjustable tool-holders, as shown in Fig. 4, as and for the purposes specified.

No. 31052.—20th March, 1912.—GEORGE LEWIS GILBERTHORPE, of Claude Street, Carpenter and Joiner, and HEDLEY CHARLES MARSHALL, of Fuller’s Road, Builder, both of Chatswood, near Sydney, New South Wales. Improvements relating to adjustable fireproof and other blinds and louvres.

Extract from Specification.—It consists of either metal or wood slats connected together in ladder-like formation by means of jointed metal links pivoted to pins at the ends and other convenient parts of the slats, and arranged in pairs, to operate consecutively either for contraction or extension purposes. Each pair or set of links is capable of independent movement, and likewise of automatic adjustment when folding up, such movement always corresponding to the positions adopted by the slats (horizontal or slanting) when the blind or louvre is being raised or lowered, closed or opened. Slats and their attachments made wholly of metal, when used as designed in this invention, will serve the purpose of a fireproof blind or louvre, combined with which are recoil-spring winders with metal tapes, chains, or cords for lifting and lowering the slats. There are also suspended vertical clamping-bars for bringing the slats into contact with each other when the blind is lowered. In the event of fire occurring, these clamping-attachments are also devised to operate automatically by the release of the spring winders from their casings, which are secured with solder fusible at a comparatively low temperature.
