24 heavy upto 400 kg. Suspended from
10 to 12feet height.
4 Type of Swina : a) The swinq is The swing is placed suspended from a shaft place on on a float which rises the fixed beam and the swing is the and falls along with only moving object and that too in the waves allowing longitudal direction (forward & up and down backward) with the strike of tides. movement of a floating object.
5 Boat shaped or Parabolic shape or Hollow floating object conical shape swing - for quick adjusted by using forward movement along with the pipes, joints, axle, tides and also quick return - crankshaft etc. which backward movement under gravity. are used for up and down movement of the waves.
2. That in light of the facts of Clause 1, we amend the claims of the International Application No. PCT/IN2009/000649, as under:
Claim 1 is amended. The basis of amendment: The tidal force is being used in a different manner, in comparison to prior arts, wherein it mainly creates and uses three types of forces, when tidal waves strikes the system.
[Line 1 of claim 1 is amended and lines 10 to 15 are inserted in claim 11 Claim 2 is cancelled and new claim No. 2 is written The basis of amendment: This claim actually for highlighting the features of the inclined platform or a channel and sea bed. Such features were not brought out clearly in previous claim 2.
Claim 3 is amended. Basis of amendment: The word "waves" in line 1 of the claim is replaced by "forces" and in line 6 "finalshalt" was wrongly written and is replaced by "final shaft".
25 Claim 4 to 8 are amended, wherein in the first line of each claim, word "waves" is substituted by "forces".
Claim No. 9 is added as a new claim, based on the description of the invention, mainly based on description of Para [0011] to [0012].
