Abstract: 19,312. Notenboom, A., and Notenboom, J. Aug. 26. Controlling, ventilation automatically.-A capsule thermostat for controlling the ventilators of a hot-house is jointed at the centre of the sides to two rods, one fixed and the other pivoted, so .that the sudden movement of one or both sides. is transmitted to a rod operating the ventilators. The capsule 1, Figs. 3 and 6, may contain a volatile liquid, such as carbon bisulphide, alcohol, or ether, and the sides may be grooved and adapted to buckle at different pressures so that the window is opened in two steps.. The capsule is secured to two fixed bars 7 and to two bars 5, which are connected by a pivoted link 9 to the bars 7 and by another link 10 having a forked upper end with a lever 11 secured to a pivoted rod 12. Holes 11<1> in the levers 11, 5 allow of adjustment of the position of the link 10. The rod 12 carries a bar 18, Fig. 4, which is forked to receive a chainwheel 20, the spindle of which engages with a slot 24 in a rod 19 pivoted to the ventilator 23. To prevent movement of the ventilator by the wind, a weighted chain 25 passing over the wheel is connected with a fixed support 26. Wind pressure causes the ventilator to be lifted and the rod 19 to be raised until a catch 31 engages with the teeth of-the wheel 20 to prevent further movement, the tension being taken up by the chain. The weight 28 may be varied to regulate the temperature at which the ventilator is operated.
