Abstract: A rod (37) is positively guided in the rear side of a rail fixed to the window frame, and has a selector pin passing through a slot in the rail. A rear foot on the rail supports it on the bottom of a stepped groove in the frame. Screws passing through the rail and foot secure it to the window-frame. A rib on the underside of the foot (70) engages in a slot in a sliding hinge (93). The latter is detachably secured, typically by a pin fitting in a hole (91,92), to the rod so as to move with it, and is also joined, via an adjustable setting member (94) to a further connecting fitting (95). The hinge can be rigid under tension and compression loads while bending elastically in the transverse direction, being typically of spring-steel strip.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of monitoring air flow in a fire-detection device and a fire-detection device for carrying out the method. In order to eliminate as far as possible the influence of environmental parameters, in this case in particular variations in air pressure, on the air flow monitoring system, two air flow sensors (3, 4) are provided. A differential signal, which is adjusted to bring it to zero when the fire-detection device is started, is generated from the output signals of the two air flow sensors (3, 4). The monitoring of the air flow is evaluated on the basis of the adjusted differential signal, preferably also on the basis of an adjusted summation signal which is formed from the two output signals from the air flow sensors. The fire-detection device comprises: a first detector for detecting a fire parameter in a first alarm chamber (1) to which a ventilator feeds a representative volumetric amount of the room or apparatus-cooling air via a first and second intake pipe system (25, 26); a first and a second air flow sensor (3, 4) which monitor the mass flow of fed air in the two intake pipe systems (25, 26); a differential member (5) for establishing the difference between the output signals of the air flow sensors (3, 4); a first adjusting member (8) for adjusting the differential signal to zero; an evaluation circuit (6) with a lower and an upper threshold value; and a display unit (7) which displays a malfunction in dependence on the output signal from the evaluation circuit (6).

Abstract: A radiative heat gas burner is described of the type which may be used to fire a domestic grill. The burner head has an inlet port (22) and comprises a pressing which together with a perforated metal sheet (28) defines a chamber (24) in which a combustion gas flows prior to flowing through the perforations (32) in the sheet and combusting thereon. The sheet of metal sealingly connected to the pressing forms a combustion surface on which the combustion of gas flowing through the perforations occurs, but the invention lies in the discovery that it is not necessary to provide large apertures in the sheet which reveal portions of gauze sheets disposed parallely behind the combustion surface and which glow and thus radiate heat during operation of the burner. It is merely necessary to provide a pattern of small perforations over the entire surface of the combustion sheet, the number of said perforations being sufficient to allow for sufficient gas flow therethrough to support stable combustion, and their pattern being ideally in rows which intersect with other rows in a substantially perpendicular manner.
