Filed: 1921-09-29
Abstract: 188,477. Siemens Bros. & Co., Ltd., and Whitehead, A. C. Sept. 29, 1921. Filaments. - In lamps for the headlights of motorvehicles &c. wherein the axis of the filament is arranged substantially in the axis of the reflector, the filament is so wound and arranged that more light per unit of axial length is emitted by the parts giving rise to divergent reflected rays than by the parts giving rise to approximately parallel reflected rays. The part B of the filament near the focus f of the reflector (not shown) may be less closely wound than the part A at the inner end or at both ends thereof, or it may be of less diameter than the other parts. The parts A, B may be arranged in series, as shown in Fig. 1, or in parallel as shown in Fig. 2.

Title: Improvements in or relating to systems for detecting incipient fires
IPC: G01N1/26
Filed: 1931-09-16
Abstract: 383,684. Fire alarms operated by smoke indicators. FOAMITE FIREFOAM, Ltd. and FELTON, D. A., 55, Great Marl borough Street, London. Sept. 16, 1931, No. 25938. [Class 47 (i).] Apparatus for detecting incipient fire in a number of different places, such as holds of a ship, comprises an arrangement in which streams of air from the several places pass continuously through respective observation conduits and a light sensitive cell receives in continuous succession light passed through the observation conduits. Pipes 1, Fig. 1, of brass &c., have both ends closed with glass 2 and are each connected to a different hold of a ship by a pipe 3 and to a common exhaust by a pipe 4. The parallel pipe systems are supported by partitions 6, 7. A fixed lamp 8 reflects light by a circular inclined mirror 9 into each of the pipes 1. Air is drawn from an end chamber by a fan 11. An intermediate air motor 15 drives shafting &c. 17 passing through a black cover 23 so as to rotate a selenium cell 25 or other means responsive to light from the lamp and having a screen 26. The cell is located in a control circuit including commutator rings 27, 28 and contact springs 29, 30 connecting with a source of current and relay 31 which on presence of smoke closes the circuit to a signal bell 32 and light 33. A pointer 34 on the shaft 17 and a numbered dial on the cover 23 are observable through the transparent window 35 indicating the fire location. The rate of rotation of the shaft 17 is slow enough to permit adequate examination and test of each pipe. The flow of all the pipes is uniform. In a modification, Fig. 3, the arrangement is similar to that of Fig. 1, except that the shaft 17 is extended through a bearing on the partition 7 to a bearing 37 on partition 6 and carries a radial arm with the lamp 8 at its end so that the light and cell are presented at the same time at opposite ends of each pipe in turn. The drive of the shaft 17 may be intermittent with a pause at each pipe. Specification 356,808 is referred to.
