Abstract: 13,260. Bailey, Sir W. H., and Bailey, A. J. June 13. Fusible plugs.- Relates to plugs of the kind described in Specification No. 3637, A.D. 1885. The plugs are so constructed that they are protected from the fire, and that they shall fall when the alloy has been melted. Three modifications are described in the Specification. The fusible disc c, shown in Fig. 1, is cast round the metal ferrule e, which rests on a shoulder of the tube a, and also round the metal cap d, which fills the central hole of the hub b. The nut has an inner flange b<1>, which bears on the soft metal of the disc when the nut is screwed down. The washer f is screwed into the disc c in order to give it further protection. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the ferrule e is of different form, and the washer f is dispensed with, and a ferrule g is fitted round the cap d. The parts a, e, g are all bound together by the fusible disc. In a third modification, the ferrule e is of inverteddome shape, and the plug is constructed without either the washer f or the ferrule g. In each form, the hard metal e acts as a guide for the cap d, which, when the alloy melts, falls freely through the body a and leaves a clear passage through the plug.
