Mar. 23.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 809

No. 19141.—24th February, 1905.—FRANCIS WILLIAM PAYNE, of Dunedin, New Zealand, Consulting Engineer. Improved power-transmission by cable or rope for driving moving machinery at a distance.

Claims.—(1.) In movable machinery afloat, such as dredging machinery driven from machinery on shore by an endless rope, in combination with said dredge and said rope, a trolley capable of running on rails a sufficient distance to allow for the movements of said dredge, water under pressure being brought to a motor on said trolley which is balance-weighted for tension on the driving-rope, all substantially as shown on the drawings, and as explained and described. (2.) In movable machinery afloat, such as dredging machinery driven from machinery on shore by an endless rope, in combination with said dredge and said rope, a trolley having a driving-wheel on the end of a swinging frame, moving a sufficient distance to allow for the movements of said dredge, water under pressure being brought to a motor on said trolley, said swinging frame being counterbalanced for tension on the driving-rope, all substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (3.) In movable machinery, the driving of same by the means set forth through a cable or driving-rope from a power-station at a distance, allowance being made for the movements of the driven machine, all substantially as set forth.
(Specification, 5s. 6d.; drawings, 3s.)

No. 19149.—28th February, 1905.—GEORGE HUTCHINSON, of Seatoun, Wellington, New Zealand, Inventor. Improvements in milking machinery.

Extract from Specification.—My improvements are in connection with—(1.) The teat-presses: These still have the collapsible pouches surrounded by an inflexible outer wall, but the outer wall of the press is now in two parts, one part being hinged upon the other whereby it may be turned downwardly to facilitate the placing of the teat between the pouches and to permit the pouches to be drawn horizontally backwards and out of the outer wall for cleaning purposes. The pouches of my teat-presses are now constructed in the following manner: Two corresponding rubber frames have superposed sockets at each end. The upper sockets receive the upper or “grip” pouches, and the lower or “follower” pouches are formed by encasing each of the frames, thereby enclosing the grip pouches. The two frames of a press are connected together at their forward ends. The two grip pouches are connected by a bell-mouthed tube with the same fluid-supply pipe, and the two follower pouches are also connected by a similar tube with another supply-pipe. (2.) Collecting the milk from a series of teat-presses: I use a shute which is adjustably mounted upon a jointed arm, giving freedom of movement in all directions; a swivel-jointed tube connects the shute with a receptacle; and means are provided for straining the milk and preventing splash.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
