No. 20783.—28th February, 1906.—GEORGE GARIBALDI TURRI, of Salisbury Building, 150 Queen Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Registered Patent Attorney, &c. (nominee of Henry Maximilian Reichenbach, of 88 Center Street, New York City, New York, United States of America, Chemist). Improvements in and relating to carburetters.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to improvements in devices for the storage of liquid fuel, and the supplying of carburetted air to internal-combustion engines, the storage-tank acting as a combined storage-tank and carburetter, there being no free fluid in the storage-tank, thereby eliminating the danger of leakage of such free fluid in the vehicle, vessel, or car in which the engine is used. The fuel is supplied to the tank at intervals, and the supply is stored at some point separate from the apparatus. The tanks are of such capacity that they will hold by absorption a sufficient quantity of fuel for trips away from the basic supply—from five to fifty gallons, or more, as necessary. The object of this invention is to produce a perfectly safe carburetter, in which all the fuel is contained in a mass of absorbent material, which carburetter may be connected with a source of supply at intervals. Other objects are to provide a carburetter in which volatilisation is readily effected, in which means for varying the amount of fuel used is provided, and in which provision is made to compensate for the refrigeration caused by the volatilisation of the fuel.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 20786.—28th February, 1906.—GEORGE HUTCHINSON, of Seatoun, Wellington, New Zealand, Inventor. Improvements in machinery for milking cows.

Claims.—(1.) In suspensory apparatus of milking-machines, in combination, a pole, a bow-spring at one end thereof by which it is connected to an overhead beam, a tension-spring at the opposite end of said pole, and a notched bracket upon said beam from which the tension-spring is supported, substantially as specified. (2.) The means for connecting the under arm to the body-bow, comprising, in combination, the body-bow, a bracket secured upon the end thereof adapted to receive the end of the under arm, a curved recess upon the upper edge, and a curved projection upon the under edge of the end of said arm, and a curved projection and a curved recess in said bracket to receive and engage respectively with the projection and recess in the end of the arm, and a set-pin screwing through the bracket engaging with and regulating the position of the said arm, substantially as specified. (3.) In combination, the under arm shaped at its end to the contour of the body of the animal, a stuffed pad fitting such shaped portion, and a fin upon the upper edge of the under arm for maintaining said pad in position, substantially as described. (4.) The combination in means for connecting a teat-press to a carrying-arm of a ball upon a stem projecting from the teat-press, a recess in the end of the arm to receive the ball, saw-cuts in said recessed end, and a socket screwing upon said end, substantially as specified. (5.) A teat-press having rigid outer walls integrally formed, collapsible pouches within said walls, a recess in one of said walls to receive the tubes conveying air to the pouches, and a screw-pin passing through one wall and screwing into the opposite wall for holding the pouches in position, substantially as specified. (6.) In a teat-press, the combination with the collapsible pouches of metal plates secured to said pouches adapted to coincide with walls of the press, and a projection from each plate adapted to take into a corresponding channel in one of the walls, substantially as specified. (7.) In a teat-press, the combination therewith of a tubular sleeve passing through the press between the opposing collapsible pouches, and having its ends folded over the top and bottom of the press, and an elastic band securing said ends, substantially as specified.

No. 20787.—28th February, 1906.—MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY, LIMITED, of 915 King Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Manufacturers (assignees of Lyman Melvin Jones and Albert Walter Watts, both of Toronto aforesaid). Improvements in mowers.

Claims.—(1.) A mower in which the cutter-bar is hinged on a coupling-frame carried by a coupling-bar hinged on the frame of the mower, and in which the cutter-bar and coupling-frame are lifted by means of a chain connected with the cutter-bar and passing round a sheave, characterized by the fact that to prevent dropping of the outer end of the cutter-bar a stop is secured to the chain close to the sheave on the side farthest from the cutter-bar, substantially as described. (2.) A mower in which the cutter-bar is hinged on a coupling-frame carried by a coupling-bar hinged on the frame of the mower, and in which the cutter-bar and coupling-frame are lifted by means of a chain connected with the cutter-bar, and passing round a sheave, characterized by the fact that to prevent dropping of the coupling-frame, when the coupling-frame has been raised and the cutter-bar is subsequently hinged up to the vertical, a stop is secured to the chain between the sheave and cutter-bar, substantially as described. (3.) A detailed construction, according to Claim 1 or 2, in which the stop is formed as a ball made in halves and clamped about the chain, substantially as described. (4.) Lifting-mechanism for the cutter-bar of a mower, in which a lifting-lever is adapted to be operated by foot or by a hand-lever pivoted on the same, characterized by the fact that to provide means for automatically engaging and disengaging the hand-lever and the lifting-lever the hand-lever is provided with a spring-actuated notched slide which engages, and is moved by, a stationary cam as the hand-lever is rocked, the lifting-lever being so shaped that it will pass freely through the notch when the latter is in line therewith, but will engage the slide when the latter is moved to bring the notch out of alignment with the lifting-lever, substantially as described.
