Title: A Device for Automatically Lighting and Extinguishing Street Gas Lamps and Pilot Light therewith.
Inventor: BEDFORD ARTHUR JOHN
Filed: 1909-02-22
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 4333. Bedford, A. J. Oct. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Actuating valves and cocks.-In street and like gas lamps, in which the main burner and the pilot jet are alternately lit and extinguished by varying the pressure of gas in the mains, a flexible diaphragm 5, with an attached weight 23 and a tubular guide 25, is secured between the parts 1, 2 of the casing, which is provided with a loosely-fitting cover 7. If desired, additional weights 8, 9 may be suspended from a bridge-piece 28 in the chamber above the diaphragm, by means of an adjustable screw 27 and nut 29. By varying the weights 8, 9 in different lamps, some of the lamps may be extinguished before the others. In the chamber below the diaphragm, to which the gas is admitted by the pipe 20 and the channels 21, a pivoted rocking-lever 37 supports valves 41, 45 over channels 12, 13, formed in the base of the chamber, and leading respectively to the main and pilot burners. When the valve of the main burner-channel 13 is open, a hooked extension 36 of the lever 37 engages with a hook on the short arm of the bell-crank lever 32, pivoted on a vertical plate 30. From about sunset to midnight, while the gas is at its maximum pressure, the diaphragm 5 is raised so that the lower end of the slotted link 47 engages the stud 48, lifting that end of the lever 37, and turning the long arm of the lever 32 below a trip-pawl 33. When the pressure of the gas is reduced at midnight, the link 47 moves into the position shown in Fig. 2, and the trip-pawl 33 engages the long arm of the lever 32, thereby holding the main valve open. At daylight, the pressure of the gas is increased sufficiently to release the holding-mechanism, whereupon the heavier long arm of the lever 32 falls, disengaging the hook 36, and allowing the heavier valve 41 to fall and cut off the gas supply to the main burner, the rocking-lever 37 lifts the lighter valve 45 so that gas can pass to the pilot-jet. The movement of the trip-pawl is determined by the engagement of its cam-like edge with a stud 49; holes 26 prevent gas from being cushioned within the tubular guide 25; and an additional guide 34 ensures the vertical movement of the apparatus.

Title: Improvements in Heating Coil Protecting Devices for Weak Current Electrical Circuits.
Filed: 1909-04-05
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 8108. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. April 5. Thermal cut-outs. -In thermal cutouts for telephone and similar circuits with weak currents, of the kind in which certain parts connected together by means of solder are adapted to move relatively to one another and to break the circuit when the solder is melted by a heating-coil, the cut-out is movably mounted in a holder in such a way that, on the melting of the solder, the movable part is shifted through such an angle that the device can be re-set by removing it from the holder and reversing it. The device shown in Fig. 1 comprises two plates a of insulating-material connected by metal pins b, c. A spindle d, passing through, and soldered to, the pin c, is provided at its ends with square plates e, which rest in corresponding recesses in the holder f. The heating-coil g is wound around the pin c, its ends being connected to the bolt b and one of the plates e respectively. A contact-spring h carrying an insulator i bears against the bolt b, the terminals of the circuit to be protected being connected to the contact-spring and to the holder f. When the solder melts, the device is moved into the position shown in broken lines, whereupon the insulator i bears against the bolt b and breaks the circuit. In a modification, the heating-coil is placed in a casing and wound on a hollow bobbin, in which is soldered a pin carrying a lever which beara against the contact-spring h. In another modification, shown in Fig. 5, the casing k is triangular, and a loop of wire n is used, its ends being soldered in the bobbin. When the solder melts, the loop n makes contact with a spring q, thus closing the circuit of the battery B and sending a stronger current through the heating- coil and ensuring the interruption of the protected circuit. An alarm S is actuated at the same time. The beating-coil is short-circuited when a pin t on the spring q makes contact with the holder f. The ends of the loop n are flattened or otherwise formed so that they are more securely held by the solder.
