Patent GB-931802-A (GB)
Abstract: 931,802. Electric igniters. ELECTROMECHANISMS Ltd., and E. HURST. Oct. 22, 1959 [Oct. 22, 1958], No. 33819/58. Class 75 (3). An oil-fueled burner such as a paraffinburning space heater having a fuel ignition device comprising an electrically-heated ignition filament assembly 44 movably mounted on a support 28 and means for actuating the ignition filament so as to bring it into its ignition position is provided with safety mechanism for preventing operation of the filament actuating means while the burner remains alight after they have been used once to effect ignition of the fuel, the safety mechanism including a spring-loaded catch 114 which is arranged to move under the action of the spring into the path of movement of the filament actuating means, a lever 30 after the means have been operated once. The lever 30 for moving the filament to igniting position where it makes electric contact to ignite the filament, is pivoted on the support 28 and has a projection 58 guided in a slot 60 in the support and a slot 56 in a plate 42 pivoting on the support and mounting an insulating block 50 through which legs 48 carrying the ignition filament extend. An edge 112 of a rocker 104 pivoting with the spring- loaded catch 114 on a pivot on a base 26 abuts the lever and prevents its operation when a fuel valve 22 closes. The rocker 104 connects with an arm 102 mounted on the shaft of a cam 96 pivoting on a fixed arm 80 on the valve casing. A lug 118 on the spring-loaded catch engages the rocker. Rotating the cam pivots the rocker, disengaging the lever 30 and opens the valve by lifting a lever 82 pivoting on the arm 80 and engaging an abutment 90 on the upper end of the valve rod 86. Depressing the lever moves the filament to igniting position and a wedge-shaped projection element 120 on the lever contacts the spring-loaded catch and causes the lug to disengage the rocker whereby the catch springs back to its position where it abuts the lever 30 and so prevents its further operation while the fuel valve is open. Depressing the lever also raises the nose 34 of the lever and lifts a cradle connected to the hood of the burner thus lifting the hood.

Title: Coating on moving hot glass characterised by the ejection nozzle
Inventor: TERNEU ROBERT
IPC: C23C16/455
Filed: 1994-01-04
Abstract: A device for the formation, by pyrolysis, of a coating of metal or metal compound on one face of a moving hot glass substrate 16 by bringing the face into contact with a gaseous reagent, comprises support means 20 for conveying the substrate 16 through a coating chamber 14, an ejection nozzle 10 for supplying and distributing reagent gas to the coating chamber 14 and means for discharging exhaust gas from the coating chamber 14. The ejection nozzle 10 has a slot 12 which extends transverse to the path of the substrate 16. The slot 12 opens directly into the coating chamber 14. The longitudinal internal walls 24 of the slot are substantially parallel to each other. The length of the slot 12 is at least equal to the width of the substrate 16 to be coated. The internal walls of the ejection nozzle 10 define a continuous convergent path, to cause the flow of reagent gas to conform to the dimension of the opening of the slot 12, the angle of convergence of the convergent path not exceeding 14 DEG  at any point. The device may be coupled to a bogie (247, Fig 4) carrying U-shaped rollers (248, Fig 4) and cylindrical rollers (250, Fig 4) which run on guide beams (249, 251, Fig 4). The device improves the uniformity of deposition of the coating. <IMAGE>
