Patent EP-0356586-A3 (EP)
Title: Gaiter
IPC: A41D17/00
Filed: 1988-09-01
Abstract: A shoe or boot gaiter, the lower end of which is 
permanently affixed by a waterproof join (12) to the 
boot or shoe's outer surface, circumscribing the said 
boot or shoe above the sole. The gaiter has an opening 
extending down from the top, and a fastener (28), which 
when closed helps to keep the gaiter in an upright 
position on the wearer's leg. A gusset (26) is disposed 
inwardly of the opening and forms a tubular shape when 
the fastener (28) is closed. A pull cord (22) or other 
closure at the top of the gaiter is operable to constrict 
the gaiter's upper periphery around the wearer's leg. The 
gaiter inhibits the flow of water into the boot or shoe. 
When not required, the gaiter folds down as a roll (30) 
around the ankle of the wearer's leg.

Patent EP-0327403-A3 (EP)
Title: Condition monitoring system
IPC: H01H9/16
Filed: 1989-02-03
Abstract: A condition monitoring system for monitoring the 
condition of a two-position switch (SW), e.g. in a car or 
other vehicle, is arranged to provide selective drive 
signals to the switch and receive an input signal from the 
switch, the system responding to the received input signal 
(IN) to select which drive signal is applied to the switch 
so that little or no current is drawn from the system by 
the switch in either of its positions (A or B). Thus in 
the position shown, a low drive signal is applied to 
switch terminal (A) and a high drive signal is applied to 
terminal (B) and little or no current passes through the 
switch to its common terminal (C): however if the switch is 
changed to its other position a current passes through the 
switch from terminal (B) and a high input signal is applied 
at IN; in response to this the system charges the output 
drives to apply a high signal on terminal (A) and a low 
signal on terminal (B). In this manner little or no 
current is drawn by the switch in either of its positions, 
but at changeover a high input signal will flow until the 
monitoring system responds.

Title: Slip control system for a vehicle
IPC: B60W10/18
Filed: 1990-03-27

the engine (2). When the brake is operated manually, or when 
a foot brake is stepped down, only the slip control by 
application of the braking force to the driven wheel (1RR, 1RL) is 
inhibited.

Title: Water heater
IPC: F24H1/10
Filed: 1990-01-22
Abstract: A gas fired direct contact water heater 2 
comprising a casing 4 divided into upper and lower 
chambers 10 and 12 by a funnel shaped partition 14. The 
lower chamber 12 defines an annular, water reservoir 24 
surrounding a heat conducting wall 18 of a combustion 
chamber 16 in which gas from a burner 54 is burnt. An 
outlet conduit 38 with an open upper end 40 below water 
level S in the reservoir can convey heated water to 
satisfy user demand when user's valve 46 is opened. 
Conduit 38 includes a continuously running water pump 42. 
If valve 46 is closed water from the pump is 
re-circulated to the reservoir 24 via a conduit 48 and 
distribution means 50 above heat transfer means 26 
extending across the horizontal cross-section of the 
chamber 10. The heat transfer means 26 comprises metal 
defining a plurality of interconnected voids which form 
part of a flow path between the distribution means 50 and 
the reservoir 24. As the water passes down the flow path 
the water becomes heated by making direct contact with 
the hot products of combustion emerging from the flue 20 
and passing upwards along the flow path to the flue 6. 
Conduit 48 includes a valve 52 which is opened 
 
 
automatically when subjected to slight pre-determined 
water pressure engendered in the conduit 48 by the pump 
42. Seated water is run off when the user's valve 46 is 
opened. That water is replaced by mains water supplied 
through a ball-cock 30 and distribution means 28 which is 
independent of the distribution means 50.
