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. 29027.—20th January, 1911.—ROBERT BURN, of Wellington, New Zealand, Engineer. An improved machine for printing and forming address tags, labels, tickets, or the like.*

Claims.—(1.) In means for the purposes described, a frame having means thereon for the feeding of a continuous strip or strips of paper intermittently across its top, and a platen printing-machine situated at one end of the frame and across the table of which the strip or strips is or are led, substantially as specified. (2.) In means for the purposes described, the combination with a frame having printing-mechanism at one end, of a pair of feeding-rollers at the other end, and between which a continuous strip of paper passing first through the printer is led, and means for imparting an intermittent partial rotation to such rollers consisting of a ratchet-wheel upon one roller, a pinion loose upon the roller-spindle and carrying pawls engaging with the ratchet-wheel, a rack-bar gearing with the pinion, and a rotating crank-disc to which the bar is connected, substantially as specified.

(Specification, 12s.)

[NOTE.—Here follow seven other claims.]

No. 29090.—31st January, 1911.—JOHN GREENSLADE, of Prebbleton, Canterbury, New Zealand, Engineer. Improvements in threshing-machines.*

Extract from Specification.—In carrying out the invention the deflecting-board is made capable of variable width by providing it with a shutter arranged along it and adapted to project more or less beyond its edge. Suitable means for actuating this shutter are provided, such means consisting of a rack and pinion or other gearing of a like nature. The board is also mounted so that it may be canted to any desired angle by hinging it in a suitable manner to its supports. Thus it may be adjusted either by altering its angle or by shifting its shutter. The side pull of the air-currents upon the grain is prevented by constructing a number of parallel passages or channels through which the air is drawn after it has passed over the riddle, so that the currents will thus be drawn straight across the riddle should the exhaust-fan have been placed or shifted to one side. The passage to the exhaust-fan is also provided with a lip which will serve to prevent any wheat-heads or the like passing into the fan.

(Specification, 4s.)

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