A casing is made with four compartments b, b<1>, b<2>, b<3>, Fig. 1. Three camactuated lift valves k, k<1>, k<2>, Figs. 1 and 3, control communication between the compartments b, b<1>, b<2> and a front compartment c. No valve is necessary to regulate communication between the compartments b<3>, c. Four branches are connected to the device, a hot-water inlet r<2>, a cold-water inlet r, a bath supply r<1>, and a douche supply r<3>. The valves are provided with guides m working within the raised annular seats. The lower ends of the valve spindles are formed with bearings for antifriction balls n. The upper ends of the valve rods are guided by tubular screw caps p, p<2>. Springs o tend to close the valves. The valves are actuated by a cam-disk g, Fig. 3, shown in perspective in Fig. 12. Two cam-races A B, C D are provided ; the hot and cold water valves k, k<2> are raised by the inner cam, and the bath supply valve k<1> is raised by the outer cam. The part B, Fig. 12, of the cam is in the same plane as the part A. The position of the inner cam controls the mixture, but any definite mixture can be obtained for two positions, one when the bath valve is opened by the outer cam, and the other when the bath valve is closed. In the latter case, the water flows to the douche, but in the former the water flows to the bath supply, the pressure being insufficient to force it also to the douche supply, although the latter is not positively closed. A handle h is attached to the cam and a pointer i indicates the position of the valves. Each watersupply branch is provided with a plug cock shaving a screw head t which permits of altering the position of the plug by means of a screwdriver so as to regulate the supply and equalize the pressure of the hot and cold water.

Title: Increasing the Electrical Resistance of Metals.
Inventor: KUZEL HANS
Filed: 1906-03-30
Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 7655. Kuzel, H. July 26, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Resistances.-Highly refractory metals such as chromium, iridium, manganese, molybdenum, osmium, platinum, tantalum, thorium, titanium, tungsten, uranium, vanadium, and zirconium, or alloys of these, and especially incandescent bodies of these metals, are brought to a white heat in presence of boron, silicon, or carbon, or mixtures of these or their compounds which are decomposed by heat, under such conditions that the resistance is largely increased, while the melting point is only slightly reduced. Excessive absorption of boron, silicon, or carbon, which would lead to the formation of ordinary compounds, such as carbides, is avoided, the quantities absorbed being relatively small. The bodies may be heated either by an electric current, or by externally-applied heat, in a vapour, gas, powder, liquid, or even paste containing the boron, silicon, or carbon, or in an atmosphere of reducible gas which may be diluted with neutral gases, such as hydrogen. The metals may be treated either in the crystalline or in the colloidal state. Four detailed processes are given. In the first of these, the colloidal thread is heated in an exhausted receiver to which a predetermined small quantity of gas or vapour such. as boric hydride is admitted, a white heat being maintained till the gas is all decomposed. In the second method, the colloidal filament is heated in an atmosphere of indifferent gas, such as hydrogen, with a small amount of reducible gas such as silicon hydride or heavy hydrocarbon, an electric meter being used to determine when the proper resistance is attained. In the third process, the filament, after conversion to the crystalline condition, or in the form of drawn wire, is treated in either of the above methods. In the fourth method, the colloidal or crystalline filament is heated, under ordinary or increased pressure, in an undiluted gas or vapour, such as boron or silicon hydride, or hydrocarbon, or submerged in a liquid. Specification No. 28,154, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Electric lamps &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 11,287. Leslie Walker Fire Alarm Co., and Walker, C. L. May 14. S w i t c h e s.-Relates to firealarms of the kind described in Specification No. 6899A, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Fire extinction &c.]. A reservoir a, containing mercury, has tubes b, c separated by capillary tubes d, e, the tube d, which is always horizontal, being narrower than the tube e. The head of mercury in the tube b is such that mercury only passes the constriction e when an abnormal increase of temperature takes place. The terminal f is always in contact with the mercury, and the terminal g of a 'caution' signal may be either above or below the constriction e, the terminal h of the 'danger' signal being higher up the tube. The tube a may have an upward extension i, Fig. 2, and the tube c may be turned downwards. On a sudden rise in temperature, the mercury leaves the terminal i<1> of a circuit which is normally closed, and flows into the tube c, making contact with a terminal h<1> of an alarm circuit. The tube a is held in a frame m, secured to a base n by springs o which act as conductors, the whole being enclosed in a cover p having air passages q. When the cover p is removed, three terminals r on the base n support a metal ball s, but when it is in position, a pin t on the cover keeps the ball s out of contact. When the cover p is removed, the ball s engages the terminals r, closing two alarm circuits.
