Abstract: 12,025. Electrical Improvements, Ltd., and Hacking, A. E. May 23. Lighting and extinguishing gas. - Relates to a system for electrically lighting and extinguishing gas lamps independently of each other by means of a single battery c and sparking-coil a. The lamps are arranged in parallel within the branches of a parallel circuit. Each lamp has a sparking- tip e, a high - tension switch f operated by an electro-magnet f and a low - tension switch f<2> operated by hand. Each branch of the parallel circuit has a compound low and high tension switch g, i operated by an electro-magnet ga and controlled by a spring. To light a lamp, the switch f is closed, whereby the electro-magnets f<1>, g<2> are energized and the switches f, g, i are closed ; the coil a is thus thrown into operation and the tip e sparks; the high tension return is by earth. Any convenient electro-magnetic device o for turning on the gas is arranged in the same circuit to act simultaneously. The turning off is preferably performed by a separate circuit r having its own hand-operated switch r<2>. According to the Provisional Specification, the valve is preferably opened by a solenoid, retained open by a catch, and closed by release of the catch by an electromagnetic device, and the whole valve device is preferably enclosed in a small gas-tight chamber fitted as part of the gas burner.
