Patent GB-190517800-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Safety Fuse Apparatus for Electrical Installations.
Inventor: HARTIG JOSEF
Filed: 1905-09-02
Granted: 1905-09-28
Abstract: 17,800. Hartig, J Sept. 2. Cut-outs.- Relates to safety multiple fuses, arranged in cells step-wise connected together by normally-closed channels through which mercury or other conducting-liquid is permitted to flow off so as to connect a new fuse in circuit as soon as the preceding fuse has blown, giving time for the excessive current to diminish before the circuit is finally broken. The cascade cells b, containing the separate fuses, are arranged side by side in the casing a, the upper fuse being connected to a mercury cup c by a channel closed by a screw plug d or the like. The cells are connected together by similar channels normally closed by spring-held piston valves g, each of which is connected with the corresponding fuse wire h through a spring i hooked into the insulating-loop j and connected with the fuse wire h by a contact-piece k. The wire h passes through a socket in the preferably transparent insulating piece l surrounding the contact-piece k, Fig. 2. To prevent sparking, the fuse wires are surrounded by layers of emery powder confined between asbestos, filling the upper portion of each cell. The upper end of the wire is attached to a slotted contact-stud m, fixed in a conducting-bar o provided with the terminal r. The second terminal bar p with the terminal s has contact-studs q, Fig. 2, which pass through holes in the side of the casing and project into the cell spaces which are to be filled with mercury. The fuse wires are tightened by turning the slotted studs m. Upon the screw plug d being opened, the mercury from the receptacle d passes into the first receptacle b. The upper fuse is then in circuit, and, when it is. blown by an excessive current, the valve g is released and the mercury flows into the somewhat smaller second receptacle, making contact with the piece k so that the second fuse is inserted. If the excessive current still flows, this fuse will be replaced by the third, and so on. The blowing of the fuse last but one may be indicated by a small glow lamp or by a bell signal, and sight openings may permit inspection of the fuses.

Patent GB-190728437-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Opening and Closing Gas Cocks or the like for Igniting Gas at a Distance.
Inventor: GERDES ADOLF FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1907-12-27
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 28,437. Gerdes, A. F. Dec. 27. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-An apparatus for actuating gas cocks by varying the pressure of the gas in the mains is so constructed that it may be adjusted, without any structural alterations, by the displacement of a weight &c., so that it operates upon either the increase or the decrease of the gas pressure, accordingly as it is adjusted. A chamber 1 is divided by a gas-tight partition 8 into two parts, the one a containing the clock-work mechanism for turning the cock 21, and the other 7 having its outer wall formed by a flexible diaphragm 9, against which a pivoted flap 10 is pressed by an adjustable weight 13 on an extension 12 or equivalent device. Upon increasing the pressure of the gas, the flap 10 transmits the movements of the diaphragm 9 to the gas cock. The movements of the flap may, however, be employed to release clock-work or like cock-actuating mechanism, so that the oscillations of the diaphragm need be but slight. One end 16 of a pivoted lever 15 bears upon the arm 12 and transmits the movement of the arm through the end 17 to the weighted extremity of a pivoted lever 27, thereby releasing a pin 28 thereon from engagement with a lug 26 on an arm 24, which normally locks the cockactuating mechanism. The mechanism then actuates the cock and rotates the arm 24 until the lug 25 contacts with the pin 28 on the raised lever 27. Upon decreasing the pressure, the flap and. the lever move in the opposite direction, the parts returning to the position shown in Fig. 5. To adjust the apparatus so that it operates when the pressure of the gas is reduced, the weight 13 is moved nearer to the casing, or the.weighted arm 12 is so shortened that, at the normal pressure of the gas, the lever 27 and the arm 24 take the position shown in Fig. 6. Upon decreasing the pressure, the parts move into the position shown in Fig. 5, so that. when the pressure is again raised to the normal, the parts return to the position shown in Fig. 6, and the ignition takes place. Consequently, the lamps are only ignited when the pressure of the gas is normal, or sufficient for feeding the flame. The lugs 25, 26 are of such a length that the locking-arm is not released by slight or accidental variations in the gas pressure, and all the working parts are protected from the gas. The device may be actuated by hand by means of the arm 12. By connecting other cocks to the shaft of the cock 21, a number of lamps may be simultaneously operated, and if multiple-way cocks are used, the connected lamps may be irregularly ignited or extinguished. By arranging the diaphragm 9 as the outer wall of the chamber 1, a large surface is presented to the action of the gas, and access to the diaphragm is facilitated.
