Title: Devices for giving warning of fire
IPC: G01K3/12
Filed: 1925-06-04
Abstract: 239,465. Half, E. June 4, 1925. Alarms operated by expansion of gases.-- In a fire-alarm of the kind operated by the expansion of a gas under abnormal heat conditions, the air reservoir 1 communicates by an aperture 6 with a tube 3 in which a piston-like member 4 is loosely slidable. The member 4 has a bevelled face which normally rests on an insulated contact 5 and completes an electric circuit through the tube 3 to a second contact 8. In use, if a temperature is gradual, the expanding air escapes between the member 4 and the tube 3 and to the atmosphere by a vent 9. A sudden rise in temperature forces the member 4 from the contact 5, breaking the circuit and operating an alarm. In modifications, the tube 3 is placed at the side of the reservoir 1 and is bent at a right or obtuse angle, and the member 4 may be arranged to close the circuit to operate the alarm.

Title: A system for synchronising the speeds of two or more motors
IPC: H02P5/50
Filed: 1946-05-15
Abstract: 628,552. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control systems. REGIE NATIONALE DES USINES RENAULT. May 15, 1946, Nos. 14717 and 14718. Convention dates, May 7, 1943, and Nov. 13, 1943. Addition to 628,550. Drawings to Specification. [Class 135] [Also in Group XXXV] In a modification of the system for synchronizing the speeds of two motors described in the parent Specification, the servomotors operate to vary the load on the appropriate motors instead of regulating the supply of operating-medium thereto. Thus the speeds are aligned by decreasing the load on a slower motor or increasing that on a faster motor. In another modification, the speed-sensitive comparison device consists of a moving-coil galvanometer, the coil of which is subjected to the difference of the voltages derived from the tachometer generators driven by two motors which are to be operated at equal speeds. The instrument is thus deflected in accordance with such difference of potential and operates to correct the speed of the motor which is out of alignment. A longer number of motors may be operated in synchronism by a suitable interconnection of the armatures of the tachometer generators driven by each motor and the moving coils of the comparison devices.
