Patent GB-191012621-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Devices for Controlling the Gas Supply to Automatic Water Heaters.
Inventor: MILLER ANDREW EUGENE
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1910-05-24
Granted: 1911-05-24
Abstract: 12,621. Miller, A. E. May 24. Burners, regulating and controlling.-The gas supply to the burners of a water-heater is automatically controlled by a thermostat which is operated by the temperature of the water, and is provided with means for imparting a sudden opening or closing movement to the gas valve. The thermostat 23 is preferably located in an inner oil &c. containing chamber 44, arranged within a casing 20 through which passes the water supply from the heater, and it comprises a number of elements each composed of a central bar 25 with shouldered ends in which engage the ends of bowed pieces 27, the parts 25, 27 having different coefficients of expansion. The elements are perforated centrally, and slide upon a. rod 28, which carries a spring 29 bearing upon the top element. To this is secured a yoke 30, having resilient arms 31 with wedgeshaped heads 32 adapted to engage the bevelled flange 40 on the rod carrying the gas-valve 39 and sliding in guides 41. The Figure shows the valve open. Gas passes to the burner through the pipes 37, 36. As the temperature of the water increases, the thermostat expands, and the heads 32 press against the underside of the flange 40, a stop 42 on the valve-rod preventing upward movement of the valve. The heads 32 consequently separate until they pass the edge of the flange, whereupon they spring together and, pressing on the upper side of the flange, force the gas-valve sharply on to its seat. As the water cools, the reverse operation effects the opening of the valve. A pilot burner is supplied by a pipe 43. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 13,671/89, 2177/00, 21,335/01, 11,272/05, 13,175/05, 19,276/05, 4490/06, 15,533/06, and 11,072/08, [all in Class 64, Heating].

Patent GB-191124044-A (GB)
Title: Improved Manufacture of Dental Foil.
Inventor: MEIER ADOLPHUS GUSTAVUS
IPC: A61K6/847
Filed: 1911-10-30
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 24,044. Meier, A. G. Oct. 30. Metal foil for filling teeth consists of a body of tin or tin alloy plated either mechanically or electrolytically with gold other than spongy gold. In a process for mechanical plating, a tin foil is placed between two foils of gold with external backings of paper and is passed several times between rolls, the paper being used to distribute the pressure more evenly. The foils are thus partly united, and the operation is completed by removing the backings and passing the bare foils between smooth rolls, the pressure being less than that required to elongate the foils. The grain or fibre, as a result of this treatment may cause the foil to be stiff, and it is rendered soft and pliable by passing through rolls with rough paper. In electro-plating the tin with gold, an alloy of tin with another metal which will make it electroplatable, such as silver, is made in a crucible in a hydrogen atmosphere, cast in blocks, rolled, annealed, cleaned with weak hydrochloric acid, beaten out between gold-beaters' skins, and then electroplated with gold. The plated foil is then beaten to unite the layers properly, and may then be softened to break up the fibre.

Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 6803. Bijur, J. March 19. Lighting systems; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-A shunt-wound dynamo is regulated by means of two switches of the vibrating type, one of which controls the dynamo by inserting a resistance in the shunt field circuit when the current output exceeds a predetermined value, while the other inserts the same resistance when the voltage of the dynamo exceeds a predetermined value. The connexions between the dynamo and the external circuit are reversed after a predetermined number of operations of the main switch of the system, such reversal operating to change the polarity of the dynamo, thereby protecting the contacts of the vibrating switches of the regulating-circuit by reversing the direction of current flowing through them. The shunt field winding 26 of the dynamo 10 is connected in parallel with a resistance 40, and in series with a winding 28 on the switch D and contacts 52, 53 of switches B, C, a resistance 27 being inserted in this circuit when one of the pairs of contacts 52, 53 is opened. The switch B is provided with a current coil 32 and a potential coil 37, and the switch C with a current coil 34 and potential coil 38. The connexion between the dynamo and the load circuit is controlled by means of a switch 41, which may also control the various lamp circuits, the operation of the switch 41 controlling the position of a switch 42 through worm-gearing. The switch 42 reverses the connexions between the dynamo and the load circuit, and consequently reverses the polarity of the dynamo and the direction of current through the regulating-circuit, thereby protecting the vibrating contacts of this circuit.
