Title: Improvements in and relating to gas-heated appliances
IPC: F23Q3/00
Filed: 1968-11-20
Abstract: 1,242,687. Controlling burners. JUNKERS & CO. G.m.b.H. 20 Nov., 1968 [25 Nov., 1967], No. 54958/68. Heading F4T. An ignition safety device for gas-heated appliances which have a burner and an igniting device has a main switch 17 located at a distance from the burner, as well as a solenoidoperated valve 32 inserted in the gas supply conduit 34 and controlled by an electromagnetic relay 27 also controlling an operating contact 273, this relay 27 having an exciter coil 271 energized by the current supply system and a holding coil 272 energized by a thermocouple 29, there being a time-limiting device in the circuit in the form of a key contactor 20 and a Positive Temperature Coefficient resistor 24. As shown, the PTC resistor is placed between a rectifier 25 and the key contactor 20, the circuit is branched between the main switch 17 and the key contactor 20, the solenoid operated valve branch containing the operating contact 273 and a resistor 31. To operate the device, the main switch 17 is closed and then the key contactor pressed, which completes both the supervisory relay circuit and the ignition device circuit. Thus the exciter coil 271 is energized and the relay passes into its operating position, causing the operating contact 273 to close the circuit to valve 32, thereby opening the valve to gas flow. The gas is ignited by the sparks produced at the electrodes 42 of the ignition device 37, and when the resulting current produced in the thermocouple 29 has become sufficient to energize the holding coil 272 and thus maintain open the valve 32, the key contactor 20 may be released. In the case of failure of the gas supply or extinguishing of the flame, the thermocouple 29 is no longer heated, therefore it is unable to deliver sufficient current to the holding coil to maintain operating contact 273 closed, so the valve 32 is closed. If the gas is not ignited on pressing key contactor 20, after a time the resistance of PTC resistor 24 increases until it passes insufficient current to energize exciter coil 271, so that operating contact 273 is opened and valve 32 is closed. The ignition process cannot now be repeated until PTC resistor 24 has cooled.

Title: Method of automatically orienting and controlling a vehicle
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1974-12-20
Abstract: A measuring unit (E1) with an electro-optic measuring device which has a plurality of inputs and outputs (11, 12) for beams is arranged in a housing which can be moved on drive wheels (29). The measuring device serves for measuring the distances between the machine and measurement points in the walls which bound the room. The measured values determined are fed to a co-ordinate arithmetic unit (E2) which calculates the co-ordinates of the measurement points and relays them to an orientation memory (E3). An arithmetic unit (E4) checks and correlates the said co-ordinates and reduces the data by preventing identical co-ordinates from being stored repeatedly in the orientation memory. On the basis of the stored co-ordinates, a travel path computer (E5) calculates the path co-ordinates to be travelled, taking account of the data on angle and travel path fed directly to it from the measuring unit (E1). The calculated path co-ordinates are converted in a control section (E6) into command signals which are amplified in a power section (E7) and are relayed thereafter to a drive device (E8). The machine carries, for example, a floor-cleaning unit and moves automatically and systematically over the entire floor surface of the room, so that said surface is thereby cleaned. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 1,167,547. Stabilizing marine-craft. MUIRHEAD Ltd. 29 Aug., 1967 [20 Oct., 1966; 20 Dec., 1966], Nos. 46950/66 and 56935/66. Heading B7M. A stabilizer for a marine craft, or buoyant structure, to minimize rolling, or pitching, thereof comprises a tank 1, Figs. 1a and 1b, containing a liquid, e.g. water, in a free-surface condition and a buoyant body, or member, 2 of spherical configuration, the top or roof of the tank being of part-cylindrical shape such that when the craft rolls said body moves towards the highest part of the tank in a direction transversely of the axis about which rolling occurs whereby the liquid applies a load to the side of the craft that is about to ascend. In a second embodiment, Figs. 2a and 2b (not shown), the body 2 is replaced by a rectangular buoyant-body (3) furnished with a plurality of wheels or rollers (4) that engage with the roof of the tank. Said roof may be modified, Figs. 3a and 3b (not shown), so that it includes two outwardly-curved surfaces, which are engaged by the wheels or rollers and vary the motion of the buoyant body accordingly. The ends of the tank may contain openings that are controlled by verticallyslidable doors or valve members (11), Fig. 8 (not shown), whereby water of floatation can flow into, or out of, the tank and the quantity of water in the tank can be varied. In a third embodiment, Figs. 4a to 5b (not shown), the body (3) is attached to the bottom of the tank by two pairs of pivoted links (5), which may be either parallel to each other or mutually inclined. In a fourth embodiment, Fig. 6, the body 3 has wheels 4 thereon engaging with a vertically movable cam 6, the location of which cam can be varied by screws 9 driven by a motor 7 through gears 8, a stop pin 10 in the centre of the cam being provided to effect locking of the body 3 in any desired position (when required). The cam may be modified, Fig. 7 (not shown), so that its profile is variable, this being effected by forming the cam from two separate parts that are coupled to each other and a single adjusting screw (9) by a hinge pin (6a), the screw being at the centre of the tank and each part of the cam being pivotally attached to the tank at its longitudinally outermost end. In a fifth embodiment, Fig. 9 (not shown), the oscillatory motion of the body (3) in response to rolling of the craft is regulated by an arcuate rack meshing with pinions (4a) on said body, which pinions are controlled by a brake (12) and roll-sensing means (13), the rack being fixed to the uppermost part of the tank. The buoyant body may be provided with wheels or rollers that engage with the sides of the tank and may be made of metal, fibreglass, plastics, or an elastomeric material such as rubber.

Abstract: 1,248,955. Keyboard musical instrument. A. RAFFALI. 4 Dec., 1968, No. 57481/68. Heading G5J. A keyboard musical instrument comprises a series of keys 10 forming a keyboard, each of said keys 10 being coupled to a driving side 11 of a deformable parallelogram, the opposite side of which is fixed, said driving side being coupled to said fixed side by oscillating guiding arms 16A, 16B. When the key 10 is depressed a rigid finger 17, by means of its rod 19 compels an intermediate lever 23 to pivot in the direction of the arrow 75. An arm 41 of a release lever 38 which is in engagement with a notch 51 of a hammer 43 is pushed by the subsequent rotation of an elbowed lever 30 against the hammer 43, causing the latter to rotate in direction 76. After the key has reached its bottom striking position (Fig. 2, not shown) an arm 125 carried by the hammer comes into contact with the arm 41. The friction contact between notch 51 and arm 41 is interrupted and the arm 41 engages an opening 50 in the hammer sleeve 44. The hammer 43 now by simple inertia strikes wires 40 and then returns to its rest position via an intermediate position (Fig. 3, not shown) in which position it is possible to strike wires 46 again. The soft pedal effect is obtained by modifying the position of rest of the intermediate lever 23 by means of rod 19 (Fig. 9, not shown). The keys may be located on the same side as said guiding arms with respect to the driving side of the parallelogram (Fig. 6, not shown) and alternative forms of guiding arms are also described (Figs. 3-5, not shown). The keyboard may be provided with a zone (2) in which the black and white keys are at the same level (Fig. 7, not shown). The accelerating transmission may comprise two levers in contact with each other through the intermediary of surfaces of which at least one is convex.

By adjusting the pivot point of the lever 2 between positions a and b (Figs. 1 and 2) the lever 2 bears at different points on the ramp to give an increased or reduced movement of the pointer (Figs. 1 and 2 respectively) whereby a specific angular rotation of the pointer 4 may be maintained against a variation of external pressures acting on the plate 1.
