Abstract: Apparatus for stacking bales of hay into large bundles such as, for example, three bales high and seven bales wide, positions bands about the stacked array to provide a tightly bound, compressed stack of bales. The stacking apparatus compresses the stacked bales during banding with a greater force applied to the same facing portions of the bales as applied during formation of the bales to form a solid, rigid, self-supporting large bundle made up of small bales. Parallel spaced compression zones extending inwardly are formed in the upper and lower rows of bales in the least compressed portion of the bales for receiving the bands which are applied without high tension so as not to damage the hay in holding the bundle of hay bales together. This arrangement prevents the bands from cutting into the hay bales as well as severing the binding of the individual bales, allows the hay bundle to be easily moved by pallet forks, and maintains the banding out of contact with the ground to avoid band damage and deterioration from the elements as well as from rodents. The apparatus is computer controlled and fully automated from the input of individual bales to the discharge of a tightly banded and compressed bundle of hay bales and can be used in "on the go" as the apparatus traverses a field containing the individual hay bales.

Abstract: A machine for brewing tea, particularly in a shop situation. The machine has a housing (1) and at least one brewing assembly (3). The brewing assembly is formed to hold a brewing cup (75,81) that has a filter that defines and separates a first cavity within the brewing cup for containing tea leaves and a second cavity from which tea leaves are excluded. The housing has a water supply that supplies a predetermined volume of water at a temperature that is suitable for infusing tea leaves. It also has a water supply channel for delivering the water into the first cavity of the brewing cup, and a siphon tube that has a siphoning end that extends orthogonally upward into the second cavity of the brewing cup and a downward projecting dispensing end. The apparatus is constructed in a way that tea leaves infuse as the water is supplied into the first cavity of the brewing cup, but once the level of infused tea liquor in the second cavity of the brewing cup rises above the siphoning end of the siphon tube the tea liquor siphons down the siphon tube and is dispensed from the dispensing end of the siphon tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of cooling machines. Typically, the method of cooling is useful in the cooling of dies used in the moulding of plastics or metals. The method relies upon taking advantage of the latent heat of vaporisation of a cooling liquid. A liquid is maintained in a closed chamber in a die such that the liquid is in contact with the surfaces to be cooled and a space above the liquid surface is available. The pressure in the space is adjusted, typically by vacuum equipment, such that the boiling point of the liquid is adjusted to a level which enables the principle cooling process to involve latent heat.
