Patent NZ-593453-A (NZ)
Title: A freestanding trough with resilient semi-rigid side walls that are restricted from moving outward by a tension in a restraint
Inventor: DALRYMPLE ROGER KENNETH ROY
IPC: A01K5/01
Filed: 2011-06-14
Abstract: 593453 Disclosed is a freestanding trough which includes an elongate trough body and at least one restraint. The trough body has a bottom portion and two side wall portions. The bottom portion is integrally formed with the two side wall portions from a resilient semi-rigid sheet. The restraint extends transversely across the inside of the trough intermediate the ends of the trough body, lower than upper edges of the side wall portions but higher than the bottom portion. The side wall portions are restrained from moving outward, away from a longitudinal centreline of the trough by tension in the restraint. The side wall portions are maintained upright in part by the tension in the restraint, and in part by the resilient semi-rigidity of the sheet. The trough can rest in a stable upright orientation without being attached or tethered to an underlying floor or ground surface on which the trough rests.

Title: A pressure control device for a milking machine
Inventor: JOHANSSON THOMAS
IPC: A01J5/14
Filed: 2015-02-06
Abstract: A pressure control device for a milking machine comprises a housing (1), a vacuum inlet (2), and two control circuits (3a, 3b). Each circuit comprises a main vacuum passage (4) extending through the housing from the vacuum inlet to an outlet (5), and including a main valve (6) configured to take one of an open position and a closed position. A pilot passage (7) extends from the main vacuum passage and includes a pilot valve body (8) configured to take one of an open pilot position and a closed pilot position. The pilot passage acts in the open pilot position on the main valve to move to the open position, and permits in the closed pilot position the main valve to move to the closed position. A solenoid (9) controls the pilot valve body. A holding member (10) receives the solenoid and is attached to the housing through a first bayonet coupling. The problem to overcome and disadvantages with the prior art is to obtain a pressure control device requiring easy and quick maintenance. This is achieved in the present invention by using a bayonet coupling to hold the housing with a holding member and solenoid and also pilot valve body. These parts can be detached by turning to release the bayonet coupling. Allowing for quick maintenance.

Title: A rimless toilet pan and a method of flushing same
Inventor: CUMMINGS STEPHEN
IPC: E03D11/13
Filed: 2015-05-08
Abstract: A rimless toilet pan (20) including a forward end (F), a rearward end (R), a pan bowl (28), a flushing outlet (32), a flushing water inlet (30), an inwardly facing first sidewall (34), an inwardly facing second sidewall (37) and a flushing water flow splitter (38). The flushing outlet (32) is in fluid communication with the pan bowl (28). The flushing water inlet (30) is in fluid communication with the pan bowl (28). The inwardly facing first sidewall (34) extends substantially around the top of the pan bowl (28). The substantially horizontal ledge (36) extends substantially around the bottom of the first sidewall (34). The inwardly facing second sidewall (37) extends substantially around the pan bowl (28) under the horizontal ledge (36). The flushing water flow splitter (38) is substantially adjacent a rearward end of the first sidewall (34), is in fluid communication with the flushing water inlet (30) and has a leftwards outlet (38a) and a rightwards outlet (38b). The flushing water flow balancer (40) is on a frontwards part of the first sidewall (34), includes an inwardly facing projection (40a/b/c) extending vertically through at least part of the height of the first sidewall (34) and is positioned substantially symmetrically in relation to a forward to rearward centreline (42) of the toilet pan (28). Rimless toilet pans may experience in operation, an imbalance wherein one flushing stream on one side of the pan travels slightly faster than the stream on the other side resulting in a collision point away from the pan centreline, causing the flushing energy to be non-optimally directed in relation to the pan outlet. Advantageously the flushing water flow balancer concentrates the flushing energy of the colliding flushing water streams into the outlet of the pan bowl, it is desirable for the streams to meet at the front to rear centreline of the pan.

Title: Sports field construction
Inventor: CRAVEN ROBIN JOHN
IPC: E01C13/02
Filed: 2014-12-19
Abstract: A sports field has a stable, impermeable substrate, a water distributing layer provided over the substrate and an artificial turf layer over the water distributing layer. A bund defines a perimeter of the sports field and extends from the substrate to at least the height of the artificial turf layer. A drain channel having inlets at a height to communicate with the water distributing layer is provided such that water can flow from the water distributing layer into the drain channel and vice versa. As a result of this constructions, there is formed a containment, defined by the bund surrounding the field and by the substrate. Water can be held within the containment in the water distributing layer allowing for water attenuation and cooling of the sports field. To achieve a good playing surface at different times of the day, the artificial type fields may need cooling before they can be used. The present invention addresses this problem through the design mentioned in this abstract.
