Title: Security unit for the protection of works of art
Inventor: LAFARGE LENARD LESLIE
IPC: G08B15/00
Filed: 1981-07-28
Abstract: The invention protects paintings and other artifacts including, tapestries, prints, sculpture, fossils and drawings by any one or combinations of the following conventional methods:- an invigilator, security barrier, ultra-violet light, infra-red light, ultra-sonic (tuned frequency) laser beam or screen, proximity switch, pressure pad, inertia switch, sound pressure, humidistat, dampness stat, door contact, thermostat, thermo-couple. A protective screen is caused to fall by gravity, completely covering the painting when fully extended. If the person /object continues to move towards the painting 1, a frangible plug 8 is broken permitting an inert gas to discharge into the protective screen housing 12 thus giving additional momentum to the protective screen 6 accelerating its full extention. At the same time a siren fitted to one of the nozzles, powered by the discharging gas, emits a high pitched noise. The security unit would give protection against objects, such as ink or acid bottles, Molotov cocktails which may be thrown at the artifact. The actuation of one or more of the conventional methods already mentioned indicating a threat from either smoke, fire or water, causes the protective screen to be actuated as well as discharge of an inert gas and an alarm indication. The invention affords protection against excessive ultra-violet light by operation of the screen.

Title: Hot water cylinder
IPC: F24H1/20
Filed: 1981-11-03
Abstract: A hot water cylinder (10) has a chamber (16) at its lower end, the chamber being defined between upper and lower inwardly domed walls (14, 15) and having respective supply and exhaust means (20, 21 and 17) in communication therewith. The supply means is in the form of a heat exchanger having coils (21), with the end (22) of the heat exchanger extending into and terminating in the chamber (16). Both the heat exchanger and the wall (15) are made of high heat conductivity material and the surface area of the wall (15) is made sufficiently large so that, in use, there is a good transfer of heat from a heat exchange medium in the chamber to water in contact with and just above the surface of the upper chamber wall (15). This arrangement ensures that no layer of cold water remains at the bottom of the cylinder, as occurs with conventional cylinders, with the result that the water in the cylinder is more efficiently and evenly heated, thereby eliminating stratification in the cylinder. <IMAGE>
