No. 17489.—20th January, 1904.—FREDRIK LJUNGSTRÖM, of 79, Linnegatan, Stockholm, Sweden, Engineer. Improvements in cow-milkers.

Extracts from Specification.—The principle embodied in the said invention is as follows: To construct a milking-device acting upon the teats in about the same manner as the fingers by hand-milking—viz., producing repeated pressure on the teats, beginning at their root and successively continuing towards their extremities; furthermore, to construct a driving motion for said milking-organs in a simple manner, and so that only a soft pressure on the teats is produced in order that the milking-device may not have an injurious effect on the cows; further, to construct a simple device for the keeping-together of the milking-organs and their adjustment in the desired position; and, finally, to construct a simple and practical device for suspending the milking-organs and the milk-receiving vessel under the cow. . . .

Each of the milking-members consists of a number (preferably three) of parallel pressure-cylinders 35, 36, 37, in each of which a piston 38, 39, 40, is displaced. The front extre-

mity of each of these pistons presses against the teat. The pressure-cylinders are connected with the pipe 34 in such a manner that the topmost pressure-cylinder 35 communicates with it directly, the middle cylinder by means of a branch pipe 42, and the lowermost cylinder by the intermediary of a branch pipe 43 opening out of the pipe 42.

[NOTE.—The above extracts from the specification are inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 17501.—29th January, 1904.—GEORGE CHEWINGS, of Glenelg, Mossburn, Southland, New Zealand, Sheep-farmer. An improved fencing staple.*

Claim.—A staple, the points of which are produced by shearing the wire whereby a flat surface is obtained upon the inside of each leg, said surface tapering to a point, substantially as and for the purposes specified, and as illustrated in the drawing.
(Specification, 1s. 3d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 17838.—27th April, 1904.—CHARLES PETERSON, of 111, Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland, Pipe-manufacturer. Improvements in mouthpieces for tobacco-pipes, cigar-holders, and cigarette-holders.

Claims.—(1.) In mouthpieces for tobacco-pipes, cigar-holders, and cigarette-holders, a “lip” having ridges or equivalents for the purposes, and substantially as set forth. (2.) In mouthpieces for tobacco-pipes, cigar-holders, and cigarette-holders, having a “lip” formed with a slit through which the smoke enters the mouth, a series of ridges projecting from said “lip” and across said slit for the purpose, and substantially as set forth.
(Specification, 3s.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 18356.—23rd August, 1904.—NIELS RASMUSSEN, of Mauriceville West, New Zealand, Blacksmith. An improved fastener for machinery-beltting.*

Extract from Specification.—The fastener is composed of a pair of metal pieces of angular form in cross-section, the ends of which are flattened out and turned inwards. These angular pieces are then placed with their angular spaces facing each other, and the turned-in ends of one piece lapped upon those of the other. Rivets, or the like, are then passed through the lapped ends, so as to hinge one piece on the other. These rivets are so arranged as to give the bottom edges of the angular pieces a greater movement than the upper when the pieces are turned on their hinges.

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